Introduction and objectives

To determine the risk factors associated with myringoplasty failure among the study population, a case-control study was carried out in 2 tertiary hospital centres.

Patients and method

Patients undergoing tympanic membrane perforation or atelectasis within 3 to 6 months following surgery were considered as cases, otherwise, they were considered to be controls. Patients having undergone any type of ossiculoplasty were excluded. Seventy cases and 210 controls were included, a sample size calculated for the following variables: inflammation at time of surgery, place and size of the tympanic membrane perforation, presence of tympanosclerosis, presence of cholesteatoma, and surgical technique. Odds ratio was calculated as main association measure, a stratified analysis was performed to rule out possible confusion factors.

Results

No significant differences were found between the 2 groups respect to the variables for which the sample was calculated. Although in total group the addition of a modified radical mastoidectomy showed better operative results (95% CI OR=0.13–0.72; P=.002), in isolated tympanic membrane perforation this association it was loosed (95% CI OR=0.06–7.44; P=.81).

Conclusions

Results in this study suggest that the variables for which the sample size was calculated are not associated with myringoplasty failure in this population.

Introducción y objetivos

Para determinar los factores de riesgo asociados con el fracaso de la miringoplastia en la población estudiada, realizamos un estudio de casos y controles en dos hospitales de tercer nivel.

Pacientes y método

Se consideró casos a los pacientes que presentaron perforación o atelectasia de la membrana timpánica entre 3 y 6 meses después de la cirugía, y a los demás se los consideró controles. Se excluyó a los pacientes a quienes se realizó cualquier tipo de osciculoplastia. Se incluyó a 70 casos y 210 controles, un tamaño de muestra calculado para las siguientes variables: inflamación al momento de la cirugía, lugar y tamaño de la perforación timpánica, presencia de timpanosclerosis, presencia de colesteatoma y técnica quirúrgica. La principal medida de asociación utilizada fue la razón de ventajas. Se realizó un análisis estratificado para descartar posibles factores de confusión.

Resultados

No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos respecto a las variables para las que se calculó la muestra. Aunque en el grupo total la adición de una mastoidectomía radical modificada mostró mejores resultados (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95% de la odds ratio [OR]=0,13–0,72; p=0,002), al analizar las perforaciones timpánicas aisladas, esta asociación se perdió (IC del 95% de la OR=0,06–7,44; p=0,81).

Conclusiones

Los resultados de este estudio indican que las variables para las que se calculó el tamaño de muestra no se asocian con fracaso de la miringoplastia en esta población.
