Résumé
Recurrent middle-ear infection can lead to ossicular fixation, adversely affecting post-tympanoplasty hearing outcomes. Preoperative prediction of ossicular fixation remains challenging. We aimed to investigate potential predictors of ossicular fixation in patients with chronic otitis media. Retrospective. Tertiary academic medical center. Patients with noncholesteatomatous chronic otitis media and tympanic membrane perforation, without ossicular discontinuities. Diagnostic. The fixation of each ossicle was assessed during tympanoplasty. The impact of preoperative otoscopic findings, computed tomography (CT) features, and hearing levels on the prediction of ossicular fixation was evaluated using uni- and multivariable logistic regression analyses. One hundred thirty-five patients were included. Soft-tissue density between the malleus head and the anterior wall (odds ratio, 3.789 [95% confidence interval, 1.177-12.196]; p = 0.0255) and poor development of mastoid cells (16.826 [2.015-134.520]; p = 0.0078) were independent predictors of malleus fixation. In addition, ≥50% tympanic membrane perforation (5.412 [1.908-15.353]; p = 0.0015), poor development of mastoid cells (3.386 [1.039-11.034]; p = 0.0431), and a ≥40-dB preoperative air-bone gap (ABG) at 500 Hz (4.970 [1.732-14.261]; p = 0.0029) were independent predictors of incus fixation. Soft-tissue density surrounding the stapes (18.833 [1.856-191.104]; p = 0.0119) and a ≥40-dB preoperative ABG at 500 Hz (13.452 [1.640-∞]; p = 0.0138) were correlated with stapes fixation. The accurate prediction of ossicular fixation in patients with chronic otitis media based on CT features and the ABG may facilitate decision-making regarding the need for ossiculoplasty, possibly avoiding unnecessary manipulation or overlooking of fixation.
