  • Objective Since acute otitis media (AOM) is the most prevalent bacterial infection in young children, the reliable exclusion of AOM by nurses might save physicians? time for other duties. The study aim was to determine whether nurses without otoscopic experience can reliably use tympanometry or spectral gradient acoustic reflectometry (SG-AR) to exclude AOM.Design Three nurses were trained, who performed examinations with tympanometry and SG-AR. Pneumatic otoscopy by the study physician served as the diagnostic standard.Setting Study clinic at primary health care level.Patients. 281 children 6?35 months of age.Main outcome measures Predictive values (with 95% confidence interval) for tympanometry and SG-AR, and the clinical usefulness, i.e. the proportion of visits where nurses obtained the exclusive test result from both ears of the child.Results At 459 visits, the negative predictive value of type A and C1 tympanograms (tympanometric peak pressure >?200 daPa) was 94% (91?97%). Based on type A and C1 tympanograms, the nurse could exclude AOM at 94/459 (20%) of visits. The negative predictive value of SG-AR level 1 result (>95°) was 94% (89?97%). Based on the SG-AR level 1 result, the nurse could exclude AOM at 36/459 (8%) of visits.Conclusion Type A and C1 tympanograms and SG-AR level 1 results obtained by nurses are reliable test results in excluding AOM. However, the clinical usefulness of these test results is limited by their rarity. Type A and C1 tympanograms were obtained by nurses from both ears of the child only at one-fifth of the symptomatic visits.Key Points: Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most prevalent bacterial infection in young children. Nurses? role in excluding AOM is unknown.Type A and C1 tympanograms (tympanometric peak pressure >?200 daPa) obtained by nurses are reliable test results in excluding AOM.With type A and C1 tympanograms, nurses could exclude AOM only at one-fifth of the symptomatic visits.The clinical usefulness of the exclusion of AOM performed by nurses seems to be limited.
