Objective To evaluate the safety of intranasal use of beclomethasone dipropionate, budesonide, fluticasone propionate and mometasone for adults and children with chronic sinusitis/nasal polyps and allergic rhinitis. Methods Randomized controlled trials were located. Study quality was evaluated by two researchers independently. RevMan 4.2 was used for meta-analysis. Results Seven RCTs involving 826 patients were included. Compared with placebo, local use of fluticasone proprionate in adults showed no statistically significant trend to increase incidence of acute sinusitis (OR 16.87, 95% CI 0.87 to 301.62), but no significant difference was seen for epistaxis (OR 7.76, 95% CI 0.38 to 157.14): 1 trial, 60 patients. In another trial, no cases of nasal atrophy were reported in either fluticasone or placebo groups. No significant differences were seen between local use ofbudesonide and placebo in adults for dryness of nasal mucosa (OR 3.38, 95%CI 0.66 to 17.18) and epistaxis (OR 2.20, 95%CI 0.39 to 12.32): 1 trial, 193 participantions. No significant difference was seen between budesonide and pollinex for headache (OR 1.71, 95%CI 0.52 to 5.62). No differences were seen between placebo and fluticasone propionate in children for epistaxis (OR 0.85, 95%CI 0.20 to 3.66), headache (OR 0.25, 95%CI 0.02 to 2.83), plasma cortisol concentration (OR 1.56, 95%CI 0.06 to 38.69) and dryness of nasal mucosa (OR 4.76, 95%CI 0.25 to 89.54). Beclomethasone dipropionate in children showed no statistical differences for dryness of nasal mucosa (OR 0.51, 95%CI 0.14 to 1.87), epistaxis (OR 0.68, 95%CI 0.26 to 1.73) and rhinitis (OR 0.47, 95%CI 0.04 to 5.36). No decrease of plasma cortisol concentration was detected in either group. Mometasone and placebo showed no significant differences in children for epistaxis (OR 1.57, 95%CI 0.41 to 5.95), rhinitis (OR 0.33, 95%CI 0.01 to 8.22) or headache (OR 0.33, 95%CI 0.01 to 8.22). Decrease of plasma cortisol concentration was not detected. Conclusions According to this systematic review, long term intranasal use of steroid for adults and children may be safe based on the two high quality, four moderate quality trials and one with b bias. High quality studies with larger sample sizes and in other languages are needed to provide ber evidence.
【摘要】 目的 了解慢性化脓性中耳炎患者的听力学检查特点。 方法 回顾性分析2005年8月—2008年12月间就诊的382例确诊为慢性化脓性中耳炎患者的听力学检查资料。 结果 慢性化脓性中耳炎中男性和单耳患者居多，任何年龄均可发病，以中度传导性听力损失为主，鼓室图形态各异，耳道容积变大。 结论 慢性化脓性中耳炎是常见的耳科疾病，需及时治疗，听力学检查对于指导治疗方案和评估预后意义重大。【Abstract】 Objective To learn the audiological characteristics of chronic suppurative otitis media patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the audiologic data of 382 patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media treated in our hospital from August 2005 to December 2008. Results The number of male chronic suppurative otitis media patients was more than female patients, and single ear infections are more than infections of both ears. The onset of the disease could be at any age. Most of the patients had a moderate conductive hearing loss. All kinds of tympanogram were found,and ear canal volume of the patients was enlarged. Conclusion Chronic suppurative otitis media is a common disease of the ear, which needs timely treatment, and audiological tests are important in guiding treatment plans and assessing prognosis.
