BACKGROUND: Congenital auricular deformities are common diseases in newborn infants. We compared the efficacy of 2 ear molding systems in the nonsurgical management of newborn auricular deformities in Chinese infants.
METHODS: A total of 462 newborns with auricular deformities were treated with either the EarWell or the LiangEar ear molding systems. The posttreatment outcome was graded as excellent, fair, and poor. The differences in effectiveness between the 2 ear molding systems and factors that may affect the posttreatment outcome were analyzed.
RESULTS: Both ear molding systems showed substantial efficacy in the treatment of newborn auricular deformities. The effective rate was comparable between the EarWell and the LiangEar systems for 4 types of auricular deformities (cryptotia, prominent ear, helical rim abnormality, and cup ear), while the costs for the LiangEar systems were half as much as that for the EarWell systems. Multivariate regression analysis showed that earlier time points at treatment initiation, less severe auricular deformities, treatment duration, and breastfeeding were the most significant predictive factors for a better outcome.
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that using the EarWell and the LiangEar systems are both optimal nonsurgical approaches for treatment of most newborn auricular deformities.
