Résumé
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a case of ear infection which prevalence is still relatively high, especially in developing countries. Surgery is the definitive management for CSOM that aims to eradicate the infection and improve the hearing conduction system. The COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on the global health care system, including limitations on elective surgical procedure at most hospital at the beginning of the pandemic. This study aimed to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the volume of chronic suppurative otitis media surgeries. A retrospective study on 236 chronic suppurative otitis media patients. The number of surgeries collected from April to December 2019 and 2020 was compared. Statistical analysis used the t-independence and linear regression test with The otologic surgeries decreased by 83.7% between 2019 and 2020. There were 203 surgeries (2019) vs 33 (2020). The average number of surgeries per month in 2019 and 2020 was 23 ± 6 patients and 4 ± 2 patients, respectively ( The number of otitis media surgeries significantly decreases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
