ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2021

Abstract

To determine whether tympanostomy tube placement (TTP) compared with nonsurgical management will meaningfully improve children's acute otitis media (AOM) experience over the succeeding 2 years.

Conditions: Acute Otitis Media.

Primary outcome: The Rate of Occurrence of Acute Otitis Media (AOM) Episodes Per Child-Year.

Enrollment: 250 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 250 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
