An Evaluation of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Otitis Media among ENT, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine of a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
The objective of the study was to compare the performance of otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and family medicine residents in recognizing the otoscopic examination findings of acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion as presented in static (pictures) and pneumatic (video) formats. Otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and family medicine residents from UST Hospital (n = 10, 12, and 6 respectively) viewed thirty different pictures and ten different videos of otoscopic examinations, including pneumatic otoscopy of tympanic membranes. The ability to differentiate acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, and normal was ascertained.
Overall, the correct diagnosis on the otoscopic exam by otolaryngologists was higher than with pediatricians and family medicine residents: 73% for otolaryngologists, 52% for pediatricians, and 49% for family medicine residents.
Conclusions: Otolaryngologists performed significantly better than pediatricians and family medicine residents in differentiating acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, and normal in such a test described here. Physicians may benefit in workshops that teach otoscopic examination findings to improve diagnostic accuracy.
