Propensity score matching was employed to balance demographic and clinical characteristics including age, sex, race, and ethnicity. The primary outcome was the incidence of OM, including acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), and chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) (ICD\u201010\u2010CM codes H66, H65, and H66.3, respectively).
