Endpoint definition: For the primary outcome of clinical diagnoses of AOM, the medical record from PCP will be considered the gold standard. Primary Endpoint was Used for Sample Size Justification: Assuming that 10% of patients in experimental arm and 30% of patients in control arm have acute otitis media (AOM), then a chi-square test with a 0. Conditions such as otitis media with effusion (glue ear) is when the middle ear becomes filled with thick fluid.
