Methods : In a double blind study in northern Australia, 103 Aboriginal infants with first detection of OME were randomised to receive either amoxicillin (50 mg/kg/d BD) or placebo for 24 weeks, or until bilateral aerated middle ears were diagnosed at two successive monthly examinations (success). Standardised clinical assessments and international standards for microbiology were used. Results : Five of 52 infants in the amoxicillin group and none of 51 infants in the placebo group achieved success at the end of therapy (Risk Difference = 9.6% [95% confidence interval 1.6,17.6]). Amoxicillin significantly reduced the proportion of children with i) perforation at the end of therapy (27% to 12% RD = -16% [-31,-1]), ii) recurrent perforation during therapy (18% to 4% RD = -14% [-25,-2]), and iii) reduced the proportion of examinations with a diagnosis of perforation during therapy (20% to 8% adjusted risk ratio 0.36 [0.15,0.83] p = 0.017). During therapy, the proportion of examinations with penicillin non-susceptible (MIC > 0.1 microg/ml) pneumococci was not significantly different between the amoxicillin group (34%) and the placebo group (40%). Beta-lactamase positive non-capsular H. influenzae (NCHi) were uncommon during therapy but more frequent in the amoxicillin group (10%) than placebo (5%). Conclusion : Aboriginal infants receiving continuous amoxicillin had more normal ears, fewer perforations, and less pneumococcal carriage. There was no statistically significant increase in resistant pneumococci or NCHi in amoxicillin children compared to placebo children who received regular paediatric care and antibiotic treatment for symptomatic illnesses.Item Current issues regarding the use of pneumococcal conjugate and polysaccharide vaccines in Australian children(2005) Morris, Peter Stanley; Carapetis, Jonathan R; Leach, Amanda Jane; Mackenzie, GrantItem Does the way that women experience the onset of labour influence the duration of labour?(2006) Gross, Mechthild M; Hecker, Hartmut; Matterne, Andrea; Guenter, Hans H; Keirse, Marc JozefItem Double disadvantage: the influence of ethnicity over socioeconomic position on childhood overweight and obesity: findings from an inner urban population of primary school children(2008) O'Connor, Thea; Magarey, Anthea Margaret; Waters, Elizabeth; Ashbolt, R; Gibbons, Kay; Green, J; Lo, Sing Kai; Gold, Lisa; Garrard, J; Swinburn, Boyd A; Booth, Michael; Gibbs, LisaItem The effect of alcohol on breastfeeding duration in Australian women(2008) Scott, Jane Anne; Binns, Colin W; Oddy, Wendy H; Giglia, Roslyn C; Alfonso, Helman SItem Effect of caesarean section on breast milk transfer to the normal term newborn over the first week of life(2003) James, Simon Lemoine; Royal, Rosemary Ann; Esterman, Adrian Jeffrey; Evans, R G; Evans, KItem Effects of Blue Green Algal Toxin Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) on Human Granulosa Cells in vitro(2008) Young, Fiona Margaret; Micklem, Jasmine May; Humpage, Andrew RItem Effects of the insecticide amitraz, an alpha(2)-adrenergic receptor agonist, on human luteinized granulosa cells(2005) Young, Fiona Margaret; Menadue, Margaret F; Lavranos, Tina ChristineItem Embryo research: is disclosing commercial intent enough?(2006) De Lacey, Sheryl LynneItem Ethical Issues in paediatric rehabilitation(2003) Flett, Peter J; Stoffell, Brian FrederickItem Evaluation of oral rehydration solution by whole-gut perfusion in rats: effect of osmolarity, sodium concentration and resistant starch(2006) Subramanya, Sandeep; Ramakrishna, Balakrishnan S; Binder, Henry J; Farthing, Michael; Young, Graeme PaulItem Factors and perceptions that influence women's decisions to have a single embryo transferred(2007) De Lacey, Sheryl Lynne; Davies, Michael J; Homan, Gillian; Briggs, N; Norman, Robert JItem Food-based recommendations to reduce fat intake: an evidence-based approach to the development of a family-focused child weight management programme(2005) Magarey, Anthea Margaret; Daniels, Lynne Allison; Golley, Rebecca Kirsty
