The auditory brain-stem responses (ABRs) of 18 children who received tympanostomy tubes due to well-documented history of otitis media with effusion (OME) were compared with a matched control group with little or no history of effusion. The subjects in the OME group had significantly longer ABR latencies for waves III and V, with the most compelling delay for wave III and the III-I interwave interval. Although wave I prolongation in the OME group was not significant, the possible contribution of a peripheral effect on the latencies of waves III and V was investigated. The typical gender effect for the ABR latencies was unaltered in the OME group, and there was no group by gender interaction. We suggest that although the data support increased ABR latencies for children with a history of OME, they do not establish a causal relationship.
对18名因有充分记录的中耳积液（OME）病史而接受鼓膜置管术的儿童的听觉脑干反应（ABR），与积液病史很少或无积液病史的匹配对照组进行了比较。OME组的受试者在波III和波V的ABR潜伏期明显更长，波III和III-I波间期的延迟最为明显。尽管OME组中波I的延长不显著，但仍研究了外周效应可能对波III和波V潜伏期产生的影响。OME组中ABR潜伏期典型的性别效应未改变，且不存在组间与性别的交互作用。我们认为，尽管数据支持有OME病史儿童的ABR潜伏期增加，但它们并未确立因果关系。
