Are there differences in revision stapes surgery outcomes between university and county clinics? A study from the quality register for otosclerosis surgery in Sweden.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate hearing outcomes in stapes revision surgery with regard to the type of clinic (university clinic or county clinic). Furthermore, the aim was to investigate the risk of complications with a focus on tinnitus, hearing deterioration, and taste disturbance 1 year after surgery.

Methods: The study is based on data from the Swedish Quality Register for Otosclerosis Surgery (SQOS).

Otosclerosis revision surgery in Sweden: hearing outcome, predictive factors and complications.

Purpose: To describe the procedures and investigate the hearing outcomes and complications after revision surgery for patients with otosclerosis in Sweden and compare these with previously published reports and to investigate factors that may predict the outcomes of revision surgery.

Methods: A total of 254 patients from the Swedish Quality Register for otosclerosis surgery who underwent surgery at 21 clinics were identified as having undergone revision surgery for otosclerosis from 2003 to 2013. Clinical records and audiograms from each of these patients were collected and analyzed.

Study Design: Retrospective database review.

Methods: The study was based on data from the Swedish Quality Register for Otosclerosis Surgery (SQOS).

Stapes surgery in Sweden: evaluation of a national-based register.

The aim of the National Quality Registries is to monitor the outcome of healthcare given to patients.
