Association of iron deficiency with chronic suppurative otitis media in adults
CONCLUSIONS: In adult patients, the incidence of iron deficiency was higher in CSOM patients than in controls. Iron deficiency may be considered a potential risk factor for chronic suppurative otitis media, and serum iron parameters should be evaluated in these CSOM patients and further studies should be conducted to better understand the potential link between iron deficiency and CSOM.PMID:38315117 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2024.2310013
