Quality of Life Assessment Among Patients With Otitis Media With Effusion in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia
This study demonstrates that OME significantly reduces children's QoL in Makkah City and places a heavy burden on their families. Comprehensive and tailored management plans are necessary to address the multiple aspects of OME. Future treatments should focus on mitigating the negative social, emotional, and physical effects of the condition to enhance the overall well-being of affected children and their caregivers.
