Our objective is to determine whether a preoperative audiogram can preoperatively predict the presence or absence of ossicular discontinuity. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A cross-sectional study was prospectively run on our patients, aged 12-75 years, ultimately operated on for chronic suppurative otitis media. Preoperative audiograms were analyzed to measure frequency-specific air-bone gap (ABG) cutoff values. Intraoperatively, ossicular chain integrity was carefully checked. Logistic regression analysis was done to obtain a predictive model. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A total of 270 patients (306 ears) were included. Frequency-specific ABG cutoff values can predict ossicular discontinuity, namely: high ABGs at 1,000 Hz (&gt;27.5 dB) and 2,000 Hz (&gt;17.5 dB) are the most reliable variables associated with ossicular discontinuity. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Preoperative audiograms can predict the presence of ossicular discontinuity in chronic suppurative otitis media. Large ABGs at both 1,000 and 2,000 Hz can predict ossicular discontinuity with a great degree of certainty.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000447045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,4]],"date-time":"2016-08-04T21:02:27Z","timestamp":1470344547000},"page":"231-236","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Preoperative Predictors in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media for Ossicular Chain Discontinuity: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Rashid","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Haidar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassanin","family":"Abdulkarim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Waqar","family":"Aslam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aisha","family":"Larem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Alsaadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulsalam","family":"Alqahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100088162"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1972.00770080796003"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2161-119X.1000203"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5152\/iao.2014.500"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO.0b013e3181cc04b5"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00129492-200301000-00007"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215109005155"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mao.0000176177.17636.53"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/000164801300043343"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mao.0000226305.43951.13"}],"container-title":["Audiology and Neurotology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/447045","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/447045","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/447045","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:50:01Z","timestamp":1745427001000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000447045"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,25]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,27]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000447045","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1420-3030","1421-9700"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1420-3030"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1421-9700"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
