Popis: Predicting the prognosis of early-onset otitis media with effusion (OME) in children is difficult.To investigate the prognostic factors of OME in children undergoing tympanostomy at 1 year of age.We examined 66 children (123 ears) followed up to 6 years of age. OME prognosis was determined by a history of re-tympanostomy at the last examination. We retrospectively analysed the prognostic factors based on the duration of first ventilation tube (VT) placed, history of otorrhea, asthma, adenoidectomy, and mastoid air cell system (MACS) size at 1 year before tympanostomy and at 3 years.While 25 ears underwent re-tympanostomy (group 1), 98 did not (group 2). The mean duration of VT placed was 21 months and 25, and the mean MACS size at 3 years was 314 mmThe most probable prognostic factor was the combination of the MACS size at 3 years and duration of VT placed.
