The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chronic tympanic membrane perforation in the adult population.
The study population included 1,000 subjects (453 males, 547 females) aged 18-93 years. In addition to interview data, ear examinations were performed.
There were eight subjects with unilateral chronic tympanic membrane perforation and a single subject with a bilateral perforation. The age adjusted prevalence of chronic tympanic membrane perforation was 0.45% (95% confidence interval: 0.03-0.87). Eight out of nine subjects disliked tympanoplasty.
The high proportion of subjects with chronic tympanic membrane perforations who do not want to be operated suggests that there is a considerable need for novel therapeutic procedures.
本研究的目的是评估成年人群中慢性鼓膜穿孔的患病率。
研究人群包括1000名年龄在18 - 93岁的受试者(453名男性,547名女性)。除了访谈数据外,还进行了耳部检查。
有8名受试者患有单侧慢性鼓膜穿孔,1名受试者患有双侧穿孔。慢性鼓膜穿孔的年龄调整患病率为0.45%(95%置信区间:0.03 - 0.87)。9名受试者中有8名不喜欢鼓室成形术。
慢性鼓膜穿孔患者中不想接受手术的比例很高,这表明对新型治疗方法有相当大的需求。
