Against the background of a decrease in the frequency of primarily recognized persons with disabilities for diseases of the ear and mastoid process among the category of adult population of the republic, children under 18 years old showed an increase in 2017 and 2018. In the Osh region, among adults, an increase was revealed in 2015 and 2016, and among children under 18 years old, against the background of a stable indicator for four years, a sharp increase in the indicator was in 2018.
