Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine graft uptake rates among patients with eustachian tube dysfunction who undergo eustachian tube dilatation and those who do not.Timepoint: To determine graft uptake rates with no residual perforation at 1 week, 1 month , 3 month and 6 month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess improvement in air bone gap closure in both groups. To assess complications postoperatively(e.g., recurrence of perforation, hearing loss) in both groups.Timepoint: improvement in air bone gap by performing pure tone audiometry at 1month, 3 month, 6 month. To assess complications postoperatively at day 1, 1week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month. | — |
