Chronic suppurative otitis media in a birth cohort of children in Greenland: population-based study of incidence and risk factors
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Inuits of the Arctic experience very high rates of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), yet world-wide, very little is known about the epidemiology of CSOM. The study aims were to determine incidence, median age at debut, risk factors, and associated population attributable risks for CSOM in young children in Sisimiut, the second biggest town of Greenland (population 5400), where living conditions are relatively western and approximately 90% are Inuits.
