Acute Otitis Media is a common condition of childhood which potentially has a number of significant sequelae including the development of Otitis Media with Effusion ('Glue Ear'). A general practice based study is described which assesses the implementation of a protocol for the follow up of Acute Otitis Media by the primary care team. The results of this study show that following the introduction of a follow up protocol a significantly improved rate of follow up was achieved with resultant improvements in the identification of 'Glue Ear' and hence more appropriate referral for ENT care.
急性中耳炎是儿童期的常见病症，可能会引发一系列严重的后遗症，包括分泌性中耳炎（“胶耳”）的形成。本文描述了一项基于全科医疗的研究，该研究评估了初级保健团队对急性中耳炎进行随访的方案的实施情况。研究结果表明，引入随访方案后，随访率显著提高，从而在“胶耳”的识别方面有所改善，进而能更恰当地转诊至耳鼻喉科进行治疗。
