Examined long-term associations between otitis media with effusion (OME) during the first 5 years of life and patterns of intellectual development from 3-8 years and academic performance after 3 years in elementary school. Fifty-five socioeconomically disadvantaged children were studied prospectively between birth and 8 years. OME history was routinely documented from birth through 5 years during well and illness periods. Two aspects of children's OME experience were examined in relation to developmental outcomes: timing (whether the OME occurred during infancy vs. preschool years) and nature (whether the OME tended to be recurrent or persistent). Although OME during the first 5 years of life was not related to patterns of overall intellectual development between ages 3 and 8 years, recurrent OME during infancy was a negative predictor of teachers' ratings of children's task orientation/distractibility in the classroom. Results are interpreted in the context of the growing OME literature.
研究了生命最初5年中耳积液性中耳炎（OME）与3至8岁智力发育模式以及小学3年后学业成绩之间的长期关联。对55名社会经济条件不利的儿童进行了从出生到8岁的前瞻性研究。从出生到5岁，在健康和患病期间均定期记录OME病史。研究了儿童OME经历的两个方面与发育结果的关系：时间（OME发生在婴儿期还是学龄前）和性质（OME倾向于复发还是持续）。尽管生命最初5年的OME与3至8岁儿童的整体智力发育模式无关，但婴儿期复发性OME是教师对儿童课堂任务导向/注意力分散程度评分的负面预测因素。研究结果将在不断增加的OME文献背景下进行解读。
