Abstract
Recurrent or chronic otitis media is reported to have a substantial and negative effect on various domains of functional health status and health-related quality of life of children. The OM-6 appears to be the best available instrument to assess functional health status in children with OM in a research setting. However, the lack of true HRQoL instruments as well as incomplete data on their reliability and validity, limit both our current knowledge of HRQoL in OM and the application of current instruments in both research and clinical practice.
