We also investigated whether underlying diseases and other factors impact the surgical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed the data of 141 patients who underwent fat myringoplasty for chronic otitis media for five years. They were compared by age, sex, underlying disease, perforation size, pre- and postoperative pure tone audiometry, postoperative otorrhea, postoperative re-perforation, and cause of re-perforation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Postoperative re-perforation was more common in the elderly group, albeit with no significant difference (p\u2009=\u20090.072). The factors affecting re-perforation were insufficient fat graft (44.4%), postoperative infection (33.3%), and nasal blowing (22.2%). Our findings revealed no significant association between preoperative perforation size and re-perforation (p\u2009=\u20090.391). Additionally, we found no significant relationship between hypertension and re-perforation (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.99), nor between age group and postoperative infection (p\u2009=\u20090.488). Diabetes was also not significant (p\u2009=\u20090.640). Following surgery, both groups exhibited a significant improvement in hearing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Although age and underlying conditions play significant roles in the healing process, our results suggest that external factors such as infection, nasal blowing, cough, and insufficient grafted fat tissue have a similarly significant impact on surgical outcomes in elderly patients with COM as they do in adults. In conclusion, the decision to perform surgery in elderly patients with COM should be based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient\u2019s overall health status, hearing, use of hearing aids, and the indications for surgery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40001-024-02085-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]],"date-time":"2024-10-03T08:02:03Z","timestamp":1727942523000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors affecting fat myringoplasty in elderly patients with chronic otitis media: A case control study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Kyeong Suk","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Su","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chung Man","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyong Ho","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong Chan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Supplement_4","key":"2085_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"iv10","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afad102","volume":"52","author":"E-J Han","year":"2023","unstructured":"Han E-J, Han Z-A, Kim H, Jung TR.
