Otitis media in Aboriginal children: The discordance between burden of illness and access to services in rural/remote and urban Australia

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Rural/Remote AMS practitioners manage a greater OM burden than urban AMS practitioners, but affected children have less access to specialist ear health services and longer waiting times. One in five rural/remote Aboriginal children wait longer than recommended for audiology testing, and one in eight Aboriginal children nationwide wait longer than recommended for ENT services.
