Although an increasing body of literature has demonstrated a link between in utero exposure to cigarette smoke and childhood morbidity, the extent to which such exposure is associated with middle ear disease (MED) is less certain. We hypothesized that in utero exposure to cigarette smoke was associated with an increased risk of MED and aimed to calculate the proportion of disease at 5 years' postdelivery attributable to cigarette exposure during pregnancy.Methods. At their first antenatal session, 8556 women were enrolled in a prospective study of pregnancy.
