title: [The influence of congenital malformation of external and middle ear on the psychologic status of children patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This research focuses on the psychologic status of children patients with congenital malformation of external and middle ear by Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in order to explore the degree of the influence.
  
  
  METHODS
  The 66 patients of 4-16 years old were assessed psychologic status with CBCL filled in by their parents according to their performance in half a year. Then calculated the detection rate of behav ioral disorders of these patients. Collected all patients' general information and Marx's grade of malformed ears. Then analyzed the relationship between the detection rate and these factors.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The detection rate of behavioral disorders of 4-16 years old patients, 21.21%, which is higher than that of Chinese norm. The Marx's grade and parents' mental stress relate with the behavioral disorders. In Logistic regression analysis, the value of Cox & Snell coefficient of the regression model is 0. 153. The detection rate of behavioral disorders in grade III patients (36.4%) is greater than that of grade II (4.3%), P = 0.004.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Congenital malformation of external and middle ear has an absolute influence on the patients' psychologic status, but its effect is only about 15% parts of the multitudinous influential factors. And grade III patients carry a high-risk for behavioral disorders.
