[Risk factors to develop adenoid vegetations in children].

To evaluate perinatal factors of risk to develop adenoid vegetations in childhood, 600 children were examined. Their perinatal period and health in the first year of life were investigated. 400 examinees aged 2-12 years had adenoids of the second-third degree. 200 children aged 13-14 had no history of the lymphadenoid pharyngeal ring. The degree of the studied factors impact on development of pharyngeal tonsil affection was estimated using the unifactor dispersion analysis. Correlation was found between some complications of pregnancy and labour, health problems at birth and first year of life and development of adenoid vegetations.
