Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the prevalence of dilatory eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) in adults undergoing surgery for chronic middle ear disease, by evaluating patients with specific ear conditions while excluding those with unrelated issues.
- - Researchers assessed ETD using the Valsalva maneuver and the eustachian tube score (ETS), defining dilatory ETD based on negative Valsalva results and low ETS scores.
- - Results showed that 82% of the 482 patients had no detectable dilatory ETD according to standard clinical methods, suggesting a need to reconsider common assumptions about this condition's prevalence in such patients.
