Da Costa C, et al. - Authors evaluated the association between early life episodes of otitis media and later behavioural development with adjustment for confounders. They collected the data from the children born at both the Year 3 and Year 5 follow-up. Recurrent otitis media at Year 3 and exposure to otitis media at Year 5 and a number of behaviour domains at Year 10 demonstrated a modest association. Findings suggested exposure to otitis media at Year 5 to be associated with externalising behaviours.
