Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to analyse the incidence of acute and secretory otitis media (OM), and feeding with breast milk, and the use of a grommet in children with a cleft palate (CP/CLP) or cleft lip (CL), compared with controls. A total of 84 children between 6 and 10 years of age were studied. The CP/CLP group consisted of 48 children with an isolated cleft palate (n = 28), or a cleft lip and palate (n = 20). The CL group consisted of 15 children with an isolated cleft lip. The controls were 21 children without clefts. Children with CP/CLP had acute OM significantly more often than children without clefts (43/48 compared with 10/21), and secretory OM (40/48 compared with 4/21), despite the use of grommets. CP/CLP children were breast fed for a mean of 2.8 months (range 0-13), compared with 3.6 months (0-12) for CL, and 7.5 (0-24) months for controls. There was a significant correlation during the first 18 months of life between longer duration of feeding with breast milk and a lower incidence of acute and secretory OM in the three study groups combined. The incidence of otitis media was not affected by care in a day centre, having a sibling attending a day care centre, or by the family's medical history. Despite ...Continue Reading
