A prevalence study was carried out in order to look into the etiopathogenic relation of otitis media with effusion (OME) in primary school-age children. The study included ENT examination and a questionnaire that was carried out in 4 randomly selected schools on 1,165 children. 143 of the cases (12.2%) had OME. A significant relation between OME and adenoid vegetation was found (P<0.01) while no significant relation between EOM and recurrent tonsillitis and allergic rhinitis was found (P>0.05). As a result, OME is a common disease that can lead to other hard-to-cure health problems and be costly if etiopathogenic factors are not resolved on time.
为了探究小学适龄儿童中耳积液（OME）的病因关系，开展了一项患病率研究。该研究包括耳鼻喉检查以及在4所随机选取的学校对1165名儿童进行问卷调查。其中143例（12.2%）患有中耳积液。研究发现中耳积液与腺样体肥大之间存在显著关系（P<0.01），而中耳积液与复发性扁桃体炎和过敏性鼻炎之间未发现显著关系（P>0.05）。因此，如果不及时解决致病因素，中耳积液是一种常见疾病，可能会导致其他难以治愈的健康问题，且成本高昂。
