Abstract: Acute otitis media or AOM is one of infectious diseases that commonly occur in childhood. High inci- dence of AOM in children resulted from a combination of several factors, one of which is upper respira- tory tract infection (URTI). Aim: This study was aimed to determine the effect of URTI on the incidence of AOM in children that were treated in department of ENT dr. M. Haulussy general hospital Ambon in 2011 and 2012. Methods: This study was conducted in a cross-sectional approach and designed in a retrospec- tive quantitative method using secondary data. Samples were taken from total population for cases and using random sampling method for control to meet the minimum sample requirements. Subjects were 268 samples consisting of 134 samples of AOM (case) and 134 samples of other ear diseases (control). Data were analyzed using chi-square test to determine the effect of URTI on the incidence of AOM. Result: Chi square test result shows a significant effect of URTI on the incidence of AOM (p < 0.001) in which pediatric patients with URTI have a chance of 6.65 times to suffer from AOM (OR = 6,65). Conclusion: There is a significant effect of URTI on the incidence of AOM.
