  • Note:n indicates the number of ears; SE, standard error.

  • a LO grade for each structure within the membranous labyrinth is reported stratified by risk factor. P value is from a mixed-effects model.

  • b Analysis based on 57 ears (34 with no chronic otomastoiditis and 23 with chronic otomastoiditis).
