“…In the first place is the general applicability of the results limited because only 74% of the patients completed the study. However, this percentage equals those of other studies (13,14,21). The patients lost to follow-up did not differ from the others preoperatively, but we cannot exclude that postoperative results were less favorable.…”

“…Stapes surgery has established its position as the primary treatment of conductive hearing loss in otosclerosis [Marquet et al, 1985;Ramsay et al, 1997]. Since its introduction more than forty years ago [Shea, 1988], the surgical approach has quickly evolved, especially in the last few years [Birch et al, 1986].…”

Objective: To analyze and compare the preoperative factors that potentially influence the outcome of stapedotomy in our study group. Materials and Methods: 161 cases were enrolled. Clinical variables considered to influence functional results – air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) pure-tone average (PTA), air-bone gaps (ABG), sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), ABG gain and ΔSNHL – were gender, age, case type (unilateral vs. bilateral), ear side (right vs. left), pregnancy, vascular disease and family history of otosclerosis. The audiometric variables were preoperative AC- and BC-PTA, SNHL and ABG. Results: Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of obtaining a ≥10 dB gain is significantly affected by the following factors: age <50 years, AC-PTA ≥50 dB and preoperative ABG ≥30 dB. All the other factors included into the registration (gender, familiarity, side, bilateral vs. unilateral, pregnancy, vascular diseases and preoperative BC-PTA) were not found to significantly affect postoperative gain (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, multivariate logistic regression analysis maintained a statistically significant correlation only between gain ≥10 dB and both preoperative ABG ≥30 dB and age <50 years. Conclusions: The accurate knowledge of predictive factors is a valuable tool that permits the surgeon to plan surgery with a better case selection as well as assisting in counseling the patient with regard to the likelihood of success of the procedure.

“…In most cases, the conductive hearing impairment in otosclerosis can be successfully managed by surgery (Ramsay et al, 1997;Fisch, 2009), but in a long-term perspective most subjects develop a moderate to profound mixed hearing loss (Redfors & M ö ller, 2011;Aarnisalo et al, 2003). The extent of the sensorineural component in otosclerosis has been widely discussed and our group has recently shown that it is of greater signifi cance both early and late in the course of the disease than previously anticipated (Redfors & M ö ller, 2011).…”
