Abstract
As expected, children with acute symptoms of OM experience lowered QoL compared to children with no symptoms and young age as well as having siblings with a history of middle ear problems were found to be possible predictors for experiencing middle ear symptoms. Children with acute symptoms differed from children scheduled for ventilating tubes on domains related to long-term problems from OM. OM-6 has shown to be a valid instrument for assessing disease specific QoL in children with OM, however a more large-scale instrument might be necessary for detecting subtle differences between subgroups of children with OM.
