Numbers of otolaryngologists varied from 3.6 to 12.3 per 100 000 population (Ukraine = 7.8). Numbers of audiologists varied from 0, in Ukraine, to 2.8 per 100 000, in Slovakia, and numbers of speech therapists varied from 0, in Bulgaria, to 4.0 per 100 000, in Slovenia (Ukraine = 0.1). Ukraine lacks newborn and school hearing screening, good availability of otological drills and microscopes, and a cochlear implant programme.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215117002134_sec_a4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is wide variation in otolaryngology services in Central and Eastern Europe. All countries surveyed had more otolaryngologists per capita than the UK, but availability of audiology and speech and language therapy is poor. Further research on otolaryngology health outcomes in the region will guide service improvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215117002134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,30]],"date-time":"2017-10-30T02:02:10Z","timestamp":1509328930000},"page":"1002-1009","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Survey of otolaryngology services in Ukraine and neighbouring Central and Eastern European countries"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"M M","family":"Verkerk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Wagner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Fishchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J J","family":"Fagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215117002134_ref6","volume-title":"World Development Report 1993: Investing in Health","year":"1993"},{"key":"S0022215117002134_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/gha.v2i0.1932"},{"key":"S0022215117002134_ref2","volume-title":"Ukraine - Serving People, Improving Health Project","year":"2015"},{"key":"S0022215117002134_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2015.00192"},{"key":"S0022215117002134_ref1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
