Sumario:BACKGROUND: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic infection of the middle ear with perforation of the tympanic membrane and secrete from the ear more for than two months, either continuously or intermittently. Chronic suppurative otitis media has a high prevalence and impact on the physical, social, and psychological of the patients. This disease may be fatal and even cause death. OBJECTIVE: Analyzing management evaluation of CSOM patients. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted based on medical records of CSOM patients from January 2017–December 2019. The study used total sampling Chi-squared test with p < 0.05. RESULTS: There were 600 patients with CSOM in January 2017–December 2019. Most of them were male, aged 36–45 years old with normal body mass index. There were 431 patients on the follow-up post-treatment by either medical or surgical management. The recovery rate could be assessed from the evaluation of CSOM complaints 6 months after treatment, and the results were significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: CSOM managements are in the form of operative and non-operative that shows improvement within 6-month evaluation.
