To investigate prognostic factors for short-term hearing outcomes after ossiculoplasty.
Retrospective study.
Tertiary referral and academic center.
Seven hundred twenty patients who underwent ossiculoplasty performed by a single surgeon from January 1, 1989, through December 31, 2006, and who were followed up for longer than 1 year.
Hearing outcomes were considered successful if the postoperative air-bone gap was 20 dB or less. The prognostic factors were analyzed using multivariate analysis with logistic regression.
Hearing outcomes were successful in 505 patients (70.1%). Presence of the stapes superstructure, presence of the malleus handle, normal mucosa, normal stapes mobility, and use of local anesthesia were significantly favorable predictive factors.
Multivariate analysis should be performed to investigate prognostic factors of favorable short-term hearing outcomes after ossiculoplasty. Better knowledge of these predictive factors may contribute to the surgeon's judgment and the information given to patients.
探讨听骨链成形术后短期听力结果的预后因素。
回顾性研究。
三级转诊和学术中心。
1989年1月1日至2006年12月31日由同一外科医生进行听骨链成形术且随访时间超过1年的720例患者。
如果术后气骨导间距为20 dB或更小,则听力结果视为成功。采用逻辑回归多因素分析对预后因素进行分析。
505例患者(70.1%)听力结果成功。镫骨上部结构的存在、锤骨柄的存在、正常黏膜、正常镫骨活动度以及局部麻醉的使用是显著有利的预测因素。
应进行多因素分析以研究听骨链成形术后短期良好听力结果的预后因素。更好地了解这些预测因素可能有助于外科医生的判断以及向患者提供的信息。
