The characteristics, risk factors, microbial distributions and effective treatment regimens for Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) patients intractable to empirical therapy were analyzed. Adult CSOM patients of China Medical University Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were included. Subjects of refractory and non-refractory groups were investigated for characteristics of age, sex, nation, comorbidities, otomycosis, and associated complications. Risk factors, microbiology distributions, and treatment regimens were analyzed. Twenty-six refractory patients (55.0 ± 17.7 years) and 66 non-refractory patients (54.1 ± 13.7 years) were studied. A significantly higher rate of otomycosis and CSOM complications was observed in refractory group than in non-refractory one (73.1% vs. 36.4%; p = 0.002; 57.7% vs. 10.6%, p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed atopic diathesis (p = 0.048), otomycosis (p = 0.003) and CSOM complications (p < 0.001) were risk factors of refractory CSOM. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were the prevailing pathogens. Patients of refractory group tented to have higher rates of mixed infection (42.9%% vs. 23.7%) and significantly more included fungal pathogen (19.0% vs. 2.6%; p = 0.049) than those of non-refractory cohort. Topical treatment of fungus significantly improved outcome of refractory CSOM. Atopic diathesis, otomycosis, and CSOM-associated complications were risk factors of refractory CSOM. Systemic and local treatment to possible drug-resistant pathogens, likely CoNS and fungus, possible improves recalcitrant CSOM. Correspondingly, early identification of CSOM complications, routine culture and susceptibility testing and treatment of resistant bacteria and fungus are key elements to the successful management of adult CSOM.
