Questions and Answers

What are the statistically significant risk factors associated with speech and language delay in children?

Birth asphyxia, seizure disorder, and oro-pharyngeal deformity are statistically significant risk factors.

According to the findings of Paradise et al., how does otitis media with effusion affect language development in healthy children?

Otitis media with effusion and associated hearing loss do not affect language development in otherwise healthy children.

Study Notes

Tympanic Membrane and Middle Ear Conditions

  • Middle ear effusion may show air bubbles or fluid levels behind a translucent tympanic membrane.
  • Factors to assess for tympanic membrane appearance include intactness, color, contour, and mobility.
  • Retraction of the tympanic membrane suggests eustachian tube dysfunction due to blocked air pressure.
  • Positive pneumatic otoscopy shows no movement; mild to moderate movement may be observed with negative pneumatic otoscopy.
  • Guidelines recommend cleaning the ear canal and repositioning the probe for accurate assessments during pneumatic otoscopy.
  • Pneumatic otoscopy is the primary diagnostic tool for middle ear effusion in acute otitis media but is less reliable in infants under 7 months due to their ear canal's increased movement.

Mastoiditis and Otitis Media

  • From 1990 to 2006, incidence of mastoiditis remained stable at ~1.2 per 10,000 child-years; approximately one-third of children with mastoiditis had prior otitis media (35.7%).
  • The risk of developing mastoiditis after otitis media is 1.8 per 1,000 episodes with antibiotics, compared to 3.8 per 1,000 without.
  • Antibiotic treatment significantly reduces the risk of mastoiditis but the number of otitis media episodes needing treatment to prevent a single case is high.
  • Non-breast-fed infants and those with family histories of otitis media face increased risks.

Otitis Media and Developmental Impact

  • Research shows no strong evidence linking untreated otitis media to speech or language delays.
  • Studies indicated no correlation between the number of otitis media episodes and school performance, even in children with up to seven episodes.
  • Relevant medical factors related to language delay include hearing loss, persistent otitis media, seizure disorder, birth asphyxia, low birth weight, preterm birth, and oro-pharyngeal deformities, with birth asphyxia and seizure disorders identified as significant risks.
  • Longitudinal studies indicate children with otitis media with effusion typically maintain average language development scores within normal ranges up to age 10.

Treatment Outcomes for Otitis Media

  • In clinical trials, 60% of children recovered within 24 hours, regardless of whether they received antibiotics or a placebo.
