“…This increased likelihood is consistent with findings in other studies [17, 18, 49] during the first year of life. Still others have failed to establish a positive association between maternal smoking and otitis media [50–52].…”

“…A number of studies have attempted to describe the relationship between postnatal exposure to secondhand smoke and otitis media; however, there has been little agreement between them. Some studies indicate a clear association between secondhand smoke exposure and otitis media [17]. In particular, heavy maternal smoking is associated with an increased risk for ROM in the first year of life for infants weighing less than 3500 grams at birth [18].…”

Objective. To explore the effects of secondhand smoke exposure on growth, health-related illness, and child development in rural African American premature infants through 24 months corrected age. Method. 171 premature infants (72 boys, 99 girls) of African American mothers with a mean birthweight of 1114 grams. Mothers reported on household smoking and infant health at 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months corrected age. Infant growth was measured at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, and developmental assessments were conducted at 12 and 24 months. Results. Thirty percent of infants were exposed to secondhand smoke within their first 2 years of life. Secondhand smoke exposure was associated with poorer growth of head circumference and the development of otitis media at 2 months corrected age. Height, weight, wheezing, and child development were not related to secondhand smoke exposure. Conclusion. Exposure to secondhand smoke may negatively impact health of rural African American premature infants. Interventions targeted at reducing exposure could potentially improve infant outcomes.

BackgroundTobacco smoke exposure in adults is linked to adverse anaesthetic and surgical outcomes. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, including passive smoking, causes a number of known harms in children, but there is no established evidence review on its impact on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.ObjectivesTo undertake a systematic review of the impact of ETS on the paediatric surgical pathway and to establish if there is evidence of anaesthetic, intraoperative and postoperative harm.Eligibility criteria participantsChildren aged 0–18 years undergoing anaesthetic or surgical procedures, any country, English language papers.ExposureETS exposure assessed via questioning, observation or biological marker.Outcome measuresFrequency of respiratory and other adverse events during anaesthesia, surgery and recovery, and longer term surgical outcomes.Results28 relevant studies were identified; 15 considered anaesthetic outcomes, 12 surgical outcomes, and 1 a secondary outcome. There was sufficient evidence to demonstrate that environmental smoke exposure significantly increased risk of perianaesthetic respiratory adverse events (Pooled risk ratio 2.52 CI 95% 1.68 to 3.77), and some evidence that ear and sinus surgery outcomes were poorer for children exposed to ETS.ConclusionsETS exposure increases the risk of anaesthetic complications and some negative surgical outcomes in children, and this should be considered when planning surgery. Research is required to demonstrate whether changes in household smoking behaviour prior to surgery reduces risk of adverse outcomes, and to close the evidence gap around other outcomes such as wound healing and respiratory infections.Trial registration numberReview registration number 42014014557.

“…OME is a condition in which fluid is retained in the middle ear cavity but without otalgia, fever, or other symptoms (2). This condition has been shown to be caused by complex reactions involving the dysfunction of the Eustachian tubes, infection in the mucosa, immune deficiency, and allergy, among others (3). The incidence of OME varies widely, being reported as 50% in British children (4), 8.7% in Japanese children (5), 8% in Nigerian children (6) with differences according to surveyed regions.…”

Objective:Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a condition in which fluid is retained in the middle ear cavity. The association between endocrine disorders and OME has not yet been determined. This study aimed to investigate the presence of OME in children diagnosed with an endocrine disease and the relationship between these two conditions.Methods:The study was conducted on 918 pediatric patients (440 boys, 478 girls; mean age: 8.40, range 3-15 years) and 158 healthy controls (76 boys, 79 girls; mean age: 8.31, range 3-15 years). All children underwent an ear examination and a tympanometry performed by an otorhinolaryngologist. Tympanometry results were used to diagnose OME.Results:OME was detected in 205 (22.3%) of 918 patients and in 19 (12.0%) of 158 subjects in the control group. The difference in frequency of OME between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.003).Conclusion:The results of the study reveal that there may be a tendency towards the occurrence of OME in pediatric endocrinology patients.

Relationship of Passive Cigarette Smoking to Otitis Media

Abstract: Passive smoking increases the risk of OME and ROM in children between 3 and 7 years old. The avoidance of daily exposure to domestic tobacco smoke could have a public health impact.
