To analyze the data of patients with otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies and to evaluate the management and outcomes of foreign bodies to prevent complications.
A retrospective study was conducted over 8 years at Aseer Central Hospital to examine all admitted cases with foreign bodies in the ear, nose, throat, esophagus and bronchus during the period from January 2011 to January 2019. Patient demographic data, type of foreign body, and most common site were analyzed.
A total of 184 patients were admitted, including 72 (39.1%) males and 112 (60.9%) females. The age range was from one year old to 70 years old; the mean±standard deviation of age was 10.6±12.55 years. Foreign bodies were most commonly located in the esophagus (n=97, 52.7%), followed by the bronchus (n=55, 29.9%). A statistically significant difference was found, with a p-value of 0.00001. The most common site in children was the bronchus (n=39, 21%); the most common site in adults was the esophagus (n=18, 72%).
Otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies are found most frequently in preschool-aged children. The most common site in children was the bronchus, and the most common site in adults was the esophagus. Prevention measures are essential to reduce the risk of ingestion and admission, which can be challenging.
分析耳鼻咽喉异物患者的数据，评估异物的处理方法及预后，以预防并发症。
对阿西尔中心医院8年间收治的所有病例进行回顾性研究，这些病例为2011年1月至2019年1月期间耳部、鼻部、咽喉部、食管及支气管异物患者。分析患者的人口统计学数据、异物类型及最常见部位。
共收治184例患者，其中男性72例（39.1%），女性112例（60.9%）。年龄范围为1岁至70岁；平均年龄±标准差为10.6±12.55岁。异物最常见于食管（n = 97，52.7%），其次为支气管（n = 55，29.9%）。差异有统计学意义，p值为0.00001。儿童最常见部位为支气管（n = 39，21%）；成人最常见部位为食管（n = 18，72%）。
耳鼻咽喉异物在学龄前儿童中最为常见。儿童最常见部位为支气管，成人最常见部位为食管。预防措施对于降低摄入和入院风险至关重要，但这可能具有挑战性。
