Tympanometry was performed in 247 children at the prophylactic examinations. The children were aged from 15 months to five years and were included consecutively and examined only once. In 9% it did not prove possible to perform satisfactory tympanograms. 37% had initially pathological tympanometric findings. The frequency of pathological tympanometric findings was found to decrease with increasing age. Pathological tympanometric findings were found to be significantly more frequent in boys. Twenty-two children (8% of the material) were tubulated. It is considered that tympanometry is a useful method for employment in general practice but that further investigations from general practice are still required.
在247名儿童的预防性检查中进行了鼓室图检查。这些儿童年龄在15个月至5岁之间，连续纳入且仅接受一次检查。9%的儿童无法获得满意的鼓室图。37%的儿童最初鼓室图检查结果异常。发现鼓室图异常结果的发生率随年龄增长而降低。鼓室图异常结果在男孩中明显更为常见。22名儿童（占样本的8%）进行了置管。认为鼓室图检查是全科医疗中一种有用的方法，但仍需要来自全科医疗的进一步研究。
