Screening tympanometry was performed in January 1976 and in August 1978 on 938 healthy 3-year-old children (1 868 ears), constituting more than 95% of the total population of 3-year-olds living in a Danish provincial municipality at the time of testing. Seasonal influence upon the occurrence of middle ear effusion and tubal dysfunction, not previously quantitated by systematic studies on pre-school children, was thus elucidated by comparing the prevalence of these conditions in winter and in summer. There was a statistically significant preponderance of pathological tympanometry in winter, but the difference was not overwhelming. The findings emphasize that problems relating to a disturbed middle ear function in early childhood are of great practical importance throughout the year.
1976年1月和1978年8月，对938名健康的3岁儿童（1868只耳朵）进行了鼓室导抗图筛查，这些儿童占测试时居住在丹麦一个省级自治市的3岁儿童总人口的95%以上。通过比较冬季和夏季这些情况的患病率，阐明了季节性对中耳积液和咽鼓管功能障碍发生率的影响，此前尚未通过对学龄前儿童的系统研究进行量化。冬季鼓室导抗图病理结果在统计学上有显著优势，但差异并不十分明显。研究结果强调，幼儿中耳功能紊乱相关问题在全年都具有重大的实际意义。
