Ear, Nose & Throat

Have you or someone you know experienced or been affected by acute otitis media (middle ear infection) in children? Your input is needed on a review considering xylitol for children at risk of acute otitis media.

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this research article focused on xylitol for children at risk of acute otitis media (middle ear infection)?

I am looking for a patient or member of the public who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Xylitol for preventing acute otitis media in children up to 12 years of age”.

When we say ‘patients and the public’, we mean patients and potential patients, carers, people who use health and social care services, and people or organizations that represent these groups.

We are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary (PLS), is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing acute otitis media (middle ear infection), so it will be helpful to patients and members of the public making healthcare decisions.

We welcome feedback on any aspect of the review, noting particular focus and feedback for the PLS section. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task and not overburden our reviewers.

If you are interested in providing peer review, please include your e-mail address in your response. This will allow us to confirm your enrolment in our editorial management system (called Editorial Manager) and ensure that you can receive the review assignment.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Ideal applicant

A person with experience of the condition (in this case, acute otitis media (middle ear infection)), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient.
