Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome parameter is the practicability of the fLTB, which will be determined by assessing the number of fLTB*s that could be completed and the number that were of sufficient quality for the otolaryngologists to assess the extent of TM. The fLTB will be deemed practicable if 7 out of 10 procedures (70%) were performed completely and were also of sufficient quality to be assessed systematically. | — |
