    Duration of follow-up in participants with or without residual cholesteatoma Solid and dotted lines depict participants with or without residual cholesteatoma, respectively, followed up across time in months. The mean duration of follow-up is 54.3 months in the residual cholesteatoma group and 74.1 months in the no residual cholesteatoma group.

    FIG 3.

    Diagnostic value of non-EPI DWI as a function of time. The left panel shows the receiver operating characteristic curve of sensitivity according to 1-specificity. The best diagnostic values (sensitivity  = 0.71, specificity = 0.71, Youden index = 0.43) are reached at 56 months postoperatively. The right panel shows the values of sensitivity and specificity as a function of time. Sensitivity increases from 0 to 1 by 85 months postoperatively. Specificity changes from 1 for MRIs performed up to 45 months to 0 for those performed from 198 months after the operation. Se indicates sensitivity; sp, specificity.
