The elimination rate of Province A was relative lower than those of other two. The main otolaryngological reasons covered 78.43% of the eliminated subjects, including nasal septum deviation (22.97%,82/357), hearing loss (21.01%,75/357), malocclusion (19.89%,71/357), and vestibular dysfunction (14.57%,52/357). ConclusionsThe elimination reasons in otolaryngological recruitment selection and medical examination are converged in several aspects. Necessary otolaryngological tests should be added in recruitment selection, and proper intervention should be applied to the students in time.
