中耳炎(OM)是幼儿最常见的疾病之一，也是儿童就医的最常见原因之一，也是最常见的抗生素处方适应症。中耳积液导致的OM相关性听力损失会延缓语言习得，改变行为，影响生活质量。然而，缺乏确凿的证据。需要对个体风险因素有更多的了解，以回答为什么一些儿童从OM中自发康复，而另一些儿童需要特定的干预。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Otitis media (OM) is one of the most frequent diseases in young children, one of the most common reasons for a child to visit a physician, and also the most common indication for antibiotic prescribing. OM-related hearing loss due to middle ear effusion can delay language acquisition, alter behaviour, and influence quality of life. Conclusive evidence is, however, lacking. More insight into the individual risk factors is required in order to answer the question of why some children recover from OM spontaneously while others need specific intervention.
