Tympanometry, pneumatic otoscopy and acoustic reflex tests performed on 5121 school children aged 6-12 years old, during late spring and early autumn of 1996. Demographic, social, medical and birth related data were collected for each child separately. The study was undertaken in order to evaluate the prevalence of otitis media with effusion in a sample of the general population in Greece and to investigate the correlations with possible risk factors. A total of 6.5% had unilateral or bilateral type B or C2 tympanogramms, and negative reflex suggestive of otitis media with effusion. The finding indicates a rather low prevalence of otitis media with effusion in school children in Greece compared with other countries. This study, also has shown that there was a statistical significant relationship between secretory otitis media (SOM) and, age, sex, mother's education, parental smoking, breast-feeding, allergy and previous otitis media. No correlation was found in relation to the climate of residence, premature birth, number of siblings, mother's gestational age, birth skull circumference, birth body weight and length.
1996年春末和秋初，对5121名6至12岁的学童进行了鼓室导抗图测试、耳气压镜检查和声反射测试。分别收集了每个孩子的人口统计学、社会、医学和出生相关数据。开展这项研究是为了评估希腊普通人群样本中中耳积液性中耳炎的患病率，并调查其与可能的风险因素之间的相关性。共有6.5%的儿童有单侧或双侧B型或C2型鼓室导抗图，且声反射阴性，提示中耳积液性中耳炎。这一发现表明，与其他国家相比，希腊学童中耳积液性中耳炎的患病率相当低。这项研究还表明，分泌性中耳炎（SOM）与年龄、性别、母亲教育程度、父母吸烟、母乳喂养、过敏和既往中耳炎之间存在统计学上的显著关系。未发现与居住气候、早产、兄弟姐妹数量、母亲孕周、出生时头围、出生体重和身长之间存在相关性。
