GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Surgical Management
Tympanostomy Tube Placement Topical antimicrobial treatment of acute otitis media episodes with ofloxacin drops~Tympanostomy tube placement: As per routine care, tympanostomy tubes will be inserted under general anesthesia, using a small radial incision in the anteroinferior portion of the tympanic membrane; a Teflon® Armstrong-type tympanostomy tube will be used.~Ofloxacin Otic: Participants randomized to receive tympanostomy tubes will also be followed overtime for recurrences of AOM and treated with topical ofloxacin (Floxin® 0.3%, 5 mL) 5 drops into the affected ear twice daily for 10 days. Persistence of otorrhea after 7 days of treatment will be considered inadequate response, and children so affected will be prescribed empiric amoxicillin-clavulanate (90/6.4 mg/kg/day in two divided doses) followed by culture-directed therapy 48 hours later.

Group 2Non-Surgical Management
Antimicrobial treatment of acute otitis media episodes with amoxicillin-clavulanate and/or ceftriaxone~Amoxicillin-Clavulanate and/or Ceftriaxone: Children randomized to nonsurgical management will receive stepwise therapy with amoxicillin-clavulanate (90/6.4 mg/kg in two divided doses for 10 days), and in the event of inadequate response, ceftriaxone (75 mg/kg intramuscularly, repeated in 48 hours), as recommended in the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.

Harm

What it counts
Total, all-cause mortality
Time frame
The occurrence of adverse events (AEs) were recorded from Day 1 (enrollment) through Day 786. Parents were interviewed at each scheduled study visit, at interim illness visits, and at the end-of-study visit to determine if their child had any adverse events since the preceding visit. All recorded AEs were followed to adequate resolution.
