¸ñÀû: Aural foreign bodies are one of the most frequent emergency room consults in Otolaryngology. This apparently simple problem could lead to significant morbidity and costly management if not appropriately treated. The aim of the study is to determine the association of the demographic profile and clinical characteristics of patients with Aural foreign bodies with Good Clinical Outcome. ¹æ¹ý:This is a retrospective cross sectional study among patients seen at the emergency room who consulted with aural foreign bodies in a tertiary referral center from January to December 2022. Age, sex, symptom at presentation, handedness, type and duration of foreign body, laterality of insertion, method and success of extraction with or without complication were investigated. The data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and analytical statistical methods using STATA version 16.1. °á°ú:Of the 143 patients, 84 ( 58.74%) were male. Peak incidence were noted at ages 1 to 12 years old and 18 to 65 years old and mostly with right handedness 134 (93.71%). 76 (53.15%) of the foreign bodies were animate and frequently found to be lodged on the right 86 (60.14%) with duration from time of insertion to extraction commonly at less than 24 hours 119 (83.22%). 142 (99.30%) patients had successful foreign body extraction, 60 (41.96%) had complications, specifically external auditory canal 51 (35.66%) and tympanic membrane 6 (4.20%) complications. °á·Ð:This study showed significant association between age and type of foreign body, sex and presence of complication, type and duration of foreign body, and duration of foreign body and presence of TM complication. These clinical characteristics should be considered when managing patients with aural foreign bodies.
