AIMS: To determine the current management of acute otitis media by New Zealand general practitioners (GPs).
METHODS: A reply-paid questionnaire was sent to 2000 New Zealand GPs. The questions relate to management of a three year old child presenting with her first episode of acute otitis media.
RESULTS: 95% of respondents reported they would usually or always use antibiotics. Amoxicillin was the antibiotic of choice, followed by amoxicillin/clavulanate. Cotrimoxazole was the antibiotic of choice in the case of allergy to amoxicillin. 82% of respondents recommended follow-up, with a broad range of follow-up times (24 hours to 12 weeks). Approximately half of practitioners considered 5-6 episodes of acute otitis media in a year as an appropriate threshold for referral for grommets. Most GPs had received an update on otitis media within the previous two years.
CONCLUSIONS: There is considerable variation in the management of acute otitis media by New Zealand GPs. Use of a national guideline may result in a more standardised, rational approach to the treatment of acute otitis media.
