A study was conducted to ascertain whether there is any relationship between parenteral smoking and various factors in children undergoing surgery for otitis media with effusion. Information was recorded on 115 children admitted to hospital for grommet insertion. Details of parenteral smoking habits, previous surgery for otitis media with effusion and operative findings were noted. A group of 36 children with healthy ears attending an orthoptic clinic were used as controls. Those children with at least one parenteral smoker were found to have a higher change of being admitted to hospital for grommet insertion and were more likely to have had previous surgery for otitis media with effusion.
开展了一项研究，以确定被动吸烟与接受分泌性中耳炎手术的儿童的各种因素之间是否存在任何关联。记录了115名因插入通气管入院的儿童的信息。记录了被动吸烟习惯的详细情况、既往分泌性中耳炎手术情况以及手术结果。选取了一组36名在斜视门诊就诊且耳部健康的儿童作为对照。结果发现，父母中至少有一人吸烟的儿童因插入通气管而入院的几率更高，且更有可能既往接受过分泌性中耳炎手术。
