Abstract: 

The article presents the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children in the Tyumen region. Based on the 12-year experience of treating children in a children's regional clinical hospital, it has been established that the children most prone to having OME are pre-school boys (under age 7), and that OME makes up one third of all ear pathologies and accounts for 10.7% of all treated ENT diseases in children.
