Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common ear disorder in underdeveloped nations. CSOM is distinguished from other chronic types of otitis media by the presence of a persistent tympanic perforation and middle ear drainage.The clinical signs and symptoms of CSOM complications are distinct, and they have significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Aims & Objectives: To study the clinico-epidemiological profile and complications of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Mediapatients. We also aimed to study the knowledge and local traditional practices among CSOM patients. Methodology: This was a hospital based cross- sectional study conducted in ENT Department of Dr.Sushila Tiwari Government Hospital, Haldwani on 206 patients with CSOM. A detailed history and clinical examination was done for each patient. The data was recorded in pre-designed proforma, tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The study population showed male predominance. There were 56.8% males and 43.2% females.Majority of study participants (30.6%) belonged to 21-30 years of age. 80.1% participants had unilateral CSOM and remaining 19.9% had bilateral CSOM.76.2% participants had safe CSOM and 23.8% participants had unsafe CSOM. The comparison of socio-demographic profile,history and habits of safe and unsafe CSOM cases was not found to be statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Prompt and systematic approach of patients presenting with ear discharge is necessary. People must also be educated about the signs and symptoms of the disease and encouraged to seek timely heath care which will lead to better treatment outcomes and prevention of complications.
