Factors Influencing Duration

Factors influencing the length of disability include the general health and fitness of the individual before being diagnosed with mastoiditis, evidence of pre-existing diseases affecting any of the major body systems, the presence of any antibiotic-resistant organisms, poor compliance with taking the full course of antibiotic therapy, the infection's response to treatment, the success of surgical intervention, diagnosis of an acute complication requiring surgery, and whether the individual works or lives in a smoke-filled environment.
