What are the associations and risk factors for otitis media with effusion (glue-ear)? A 1 year case control study in 5–7 year old children from four south-west Hampshire schools examined some of the factors highlighted by the literature. A history of frequent ear problems over the previous year, a history of earache at any time in the child's life, bottle feeding, a red drum at otoscopy and the new finding of night cough all carried an increased relative risk.
