Study design: Case control.

Setting: Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Department of Internal Medicine, Department of Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Hospital Outpatient Unit, Beserah Health Polyclinic, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia.
