The prevelance of chronic secretory otitis media was studied in 5414 children aged 2-12 yr. The maximum incidence of the disease was at the age of 2 yr decreasing progressively to the age of 12, the results fitting a logarithmic curve. Of all the children, 8.7% had chronic otitis media, 0.59% had adhesive otitis and 0.35% chronic suppurative otitis media. The prevalence of secretory otitis was, significantly, related to infections of the upper respiratory tract and to nasal obstruction. The part played by the adenoid was more questionable. Purulent otorrhoea was more frequent in those children with secretory otitis than normal children.
对5414名2至12岁儿童的慢性分泌性中耳炎患病率进行了研究。该疾病的最高发病率出现在2岁，随后逐渐下降至12岁，结果符合对数曲线。在所有儿童中，8.7%患有慢性中耳炎，0.59%患有粘连性中耳炎，0.35%患有慢性化脓性中耳炎。分泌性中耳炎的患病率与上呼吸道感染和鼻塞显著相关。腺样体所起的作用更值得怀疑。分泌性中耳炎患儿的脓性耳漏比正常儿童更常见。
