dc.description.abstractEste estudo examinou a associação de otite média em crianças de 6 anos de idade e a exposição ao fumo de lenha e carvão, bem como a outros factores de risco, em Maputo.MétodosEstudo de caso-controlo. No total, 750 crianças pareadas por sexo e idade foram incluídas num estudo hospital-comunitário. Os casos foram recolhidos entre crianças que visitavam o Hospital Central de Maputo com otite média e os controlos foram recrutados na mesma aldeia dos casos. A regressão logística condicional foi realizada para avaliar, simultaneamente, o efeito de cada fator de risco. amamentação de curto prazo (OR = 1,47) e viver em condições de superlotação (OR = 1,49). A análise multivariada estratificada por faixas etárias (menores e maiores de 2 anos) mostrou que os casos tinham maior probabilidade de exposição à fumaça de lenha e carvão do que os controles, independentemente da idade. Entre crianças de 2 anos, a disfunção da trompa de Eustáquio foi evidente (OR = 3,06), especialmente naquelas que viviam em condições menos superlotadas. disfunção do tubo. A associação com fumaça de lenha e carvão indica que há necessidade de educar as pessoas para evitar a exposição de seus filhos a esse risco ambiental.en_US

dc.description.resumoThis study examined the association of otitis media in children 6 years old and theexposure to wood and charcoal smoke, as well as to other risk factors, in Maputo.MethodsCase-control study. In all 750 children matched by sex and age were enrolled ina hospital-community study. Cases were gathered from among children visitingthe Central Hospital of Maputo with otitis media and controls were recruited inthe same village as the cases. Conditional logistic regression was performed toevaluate, simultaneously, the effect of each risk factor.ResultsCases were more likely to have been exposed to tobacco smoke (OR = 1.51), towood (OR = 1.85) and charcoal (OR = 1.50) household smoke, to short termbreastfeeding (OR = 1.47), and to live in overcrowded conditions (OR = 1.49).Multivariate analysis stratified by age groups (younger and older than 2 years)showed that cases were more likely to be exposed to wood and charcoal smokethan controls, regardless of age. Among children aged 2 years, Eustachian tubedysfunction was evident (OR = 3.06) particularly in those living in less over-crowded conditions.ConclusionsFindings of this study are consistent with earlier studies that have reported anassociation between parental smoking, short duration of breastfeeding, andEustachian tube dysfunction. The association with wood and charcoal smokeindicates that there is a need to educate people regarding the avoidance ofexposing their children to this environmental hazard.en_US
