| Abstract |
Chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) is a prevalent upper airway infection resulting in hearing loss. The aim of this research was to determine risk factors for COME in preschool children. A case-control design was conducted in Auckland, New Zealand from May 2011 until November 2013. The cases were children aged 3 and 4 years referred for tympanostomy tube placement due to a diagnosis of COME (n = 178). The controls were a random sample of healthy children aged 3 and 4 years from primary care practices (n = 209). The children's guardians completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire that covered topics including socio-demographic information, pregnancy and birth, infant feeding practices, home environment, and respiratory health. In addition, skin prick tests for atopy were performed. Odds ratios (OR) estimating the risk of COME independently associated with the exposures were calculated using a logistic regression model. Children with COME frequently had nasal obstruction (OR: 4.38 [95% CI: 2.37-8.28]), always snored (OR: 3.64 [95% CI: 1.51-9.15]) or often snored (OR: 2.45 [95% CI: 1.04-5.96]), spent more hours per week in daycare (OR per hour/week: 1.03 [95% CI: 1.00-1.05]), had frequent colds (OR: 2.67 [95% CI: 1.59-4.53]), had siblings who had undergone tympanostomy tube placement (OR: 2.68 [95% CI: 1.22-6.02]), underwent long labour (OR: 2.59 [95% CI: 1.03-6.79]), and had early introduction of cow's milk (OR: 1.76 [95% CI: 1.05-2.97]). Asian ethnicity (OR: 0.20 [95% CI: 0.07-0.53]) and having older siblings (OR: 0.54 [95% CI: 0.31-0.93]) were inversely associated with COME. COME in preschool children was associated with pathogen exposure, respiratory infection, and nasal obstruction. Strategies to prevent pathogen transmission warrant investigation. The novel findings of long labour and early cow's milk introduction require replication in future studies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 March 2022.
All research outputs
#13,690,633
of 23,230,825 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pediatrics
#1,713
of 3,070 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#213,226
of 421,759 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pediatrics
#35
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,230,825 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,070 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,759 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
