A clinical study of 176 ears with otitis media with effusion in 92 children who had been treated by ventilation tube therapy was conducted at the Kawasaki Medical School Hospital between 1985and 1996. The Goode T-tube was inserted in 86 children, the Paparella type I in 4 children and the Paparella type II in 2 children. The average period of intubation was 11 months. The group in which the tube was removed after over one year showed a recurrence rate of 16%, whereas the recurrence rate for those with the tube inserted for less than one year was 36%. Better results were also noted in those children treated with an adenotomy and tonsillectomy in addition to the ventilation tube therapy. There were many children aged five to seven years old in whom the ventilation tube was removed in the spring or winter, avoid resulted in a poor outcome.
