Overview
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
The risk factors for mastoiditis are related to acute otitis media risk factors. Proofed risk factors are: [1]
- Allergy
- Upper respiratory tract infection,
- Snoring,
- Previous history of AOM/ROM,
- Passive smoker,
- Mother smoking during pregnancy
- Low social status
Less Common Risk Factors
- The other risk factor that is controversial is the exposure of infants to day-care centers. Day care attendance may cause an increased incidence of upper airways infections and acute otitis media and therefore mastoiditis. Countries with different start age for child care in day-care centers show differences in incidence peaks of acute otitis media.[2], [3]
