OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence of @entity354 ( @entity354 ) in @entity1 under 2 years of age who have symptomatic @entity1184 requiring surgical removal or who have @entity2346 media with effusion requiring ventilation tube insertion without adenoidectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: An academic pediatric otolaryngology unit. @entity1 : All @entity1 under age 2 undergoing adenoidectomy (Ad group) between January 1998 and May 2000 were compared with @entity1 in the same age range having ventilation tube insertion without adenoidectomy (VT group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Whether a diagnosis of @entity354 was made, how it was made, @entity354 treatment, and resolution of symptoms were compared. RESULTS: There were 95 @entity1 in the Ad group and 99 in the VT group. @entity354 incidence was significantly higher in the Ad group where it was 42% versus 7% in the VT group (P < .001). In the Ad group, 88% of @entity1 age 1 or less had @entity354 , and 32% of those older than 1 had @entity354 diagnosed. In the VT group, 14% of @entity1 age 1 or less and 2% of those older than 1 had a diagnosis of @entity354 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 under age 2 with symptomatic adenoid enlargement requiring adenoidectomy have a significantly higher incidence of @entity354 than @entity1 in the same age group presenting with @entity2346 media requiring ventilation tube insertion.
