Overview

The risk factors for mastoiditis are related to acute otitis media risk factors. Proofed risk factors are allergy, upper respiratory tract infection, snoring, previous history of acute otitis media, passive smoker, mother smoking during pregnancy, low social status. Exposure of infants to day-care centers is a controversial risk factor. [1]

Common Risk Factors

The risk factors for mastoiditis are related to acute otitis media risk factors.

Risk factors for acute mastoiditis:

Risk factors for subacute mastoiditis:

  • Infancy
  • Elderly
  • Diabetic
  • Immunosuppressed and debilitated patients[2]

Less Common Risk Factors

  • The other risk factor that is controversial is the exposure of infants to day-care centers. Day care attendance may cause 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.[3][4]
