Overview
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
The risk factors for COM/ROM are closely interrelated. Our meta-analysis identified reliable conclusions that
- allergy/atopy,
- upper respiratory tract infection,
- snoring,
- previous history of AOM/ROM,
- Passive smoker,
- Mother smoking during pregnancy
- low social status
are important risk factors for COM/ROM

The other risk factor that is controversial in different articles, is the exposure of infants to day-care centers. Day care attendance leads to an increased incidence of upper airways infections and acute otitis media and therefore mastoiditis. Countries with different start age for child care in day-care centers show differences in incidence peaks of acute otitis media.[1]
