- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoCriterios actualizados de sinusitis y otitis en pediatría. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Sanmartín González , María Belén; Quevedo Crespo , María José; 0302711544Respiratory infections are prevalent in pediatrics. Sinusitis is an inflammatory process of the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses of viral, bacterial, or fungal origin. It is estimated that between 0.5 and 2% of sinusitis cases are of bacterial origin, and its incidence predominates in children aged 4 to 7 years. The clinical presentation is characterized by bilateral nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, hyposmia, anosmia, productive cough, and in preschoolers, halitosis, otalgia, and odynophagia. Otitis media is a pathology with a high incidence in children under five years old, caused by inflammation of the middle ear, which presents with symptoms such as otodynia, otorrhea, and other less frequent symptoms, including fever and vomiting. The present work aims to conduct a literature review by collecting articles on the updated criteria for sinusitis and otitis in pediatrics through a comprehensive review of the literature employing a descriptive design and qualitative approach following the PRISMA guidelines, selecting databases, for instance, DynaMed, Google Scholar, UpToDate, PubMed, SciELO, Medigraphic, Cochrane, Pediatric Integral, Spanish Association of Pediatrics, Canadian Pediatric Society, NICE Guidelines, of which (34) files were selected through a flowchart, which helped to filter all the articles found to keep those that met the inclusion criteria.
