A study was conducted on seventy children to ascertain any relationship between parental smoking and the presence of middle ear effusions in the children. Information was collected using a questionnaire, clinical examination and audiological tests. Both groups of children (with and without effusions) had similar age, sex and social class distributions. It was found that the presence of middle ear effusions in the children was associated with an increased incidence of parental smoking. Those children with an abnormal tympanometry result were more likely to have at least one parent who smoked than those with normal tympanometry results. There was no relationship between resolution of the effusion and parental smoking. It is therefore suggested that as part of the management of this condition parents should be advised of the effects of smoking on the condition and encouraged to avoid smoking in the same environment as their children.
对70名儿童进行了一项研究，以确定父母吸烟与儿童中耳积液之间是否存在任何关联。通过问卷调查、临床检查和听力测试收集信息。两组儿童（有积液和无积液）在年龄、性别和社会阶层分布上相似。研究发现，儿童中耳积液的存在与父母吸烟率的增加有关。与鼓室图结果正常的儿童相比，鼓室图结果异常的儿童更有可能至少有一位父母吸烟。积液的消退与父母吸烟之间没有关系。因此，建议作为这种情况管理的一部分，应告知父母吸烟对病情的影响，并鼓励他们避免在与孩子相同的环境中吸烟。
