“…The majority of our study patients (218/239, 91.2 %) reported being right handed, a finding in agreement with the studies on hand preferences in different populations [18][19][20][21]28]. Our findings on female prevalence among the patients with otosclerosis, mean age at presentation for stapes surgery and gender differences in handedness were consistent with those in the literature [2,3,[8][9][10][11][28][29][30][31].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between handedness and laterality of hearing impairment due to otosclerosis. All patients operated for otosclerosis between August 2008 and February 2014 were queried about their handedness. The study group consisted of 218 right-handed and 21 left-handed (8.9%) patients [139 female (58.2%) and 100 male] with an age range of 18-75 years (mean 46.1 years). One-hundred and fifty-seven patients had a bilateral otosclerosis (BO) and 82 (34.3%) had a unilateral otosclerosis (UO). There were 11 left-handed male and 10 left-handed female (11% vs. 7.2 %, p = 0.305). In patients with UO, the left ear (LE) was affected in 6/11 (58.3%) left handed ones, and the right ear (RE) in 41/71 (57.7%) right handed ones (p = 0.842). In patients with BO, the LE was more affected in the left-handed ones, and the RE in the right-handed ones (7/10, 70% and 87/147, 59.2 %, respectively, p = 0.5). Overall, 13/21 (61.9%) left-handed patients presented with only/mostly left-sided otosclerosis, while 128/218 (58.7%) right-handed patients presented with only/mostly right-sided otosclerosis (p = 0.584). Clinical relevance of presented findings is unclear yet nevertheless current study may contribute one more element in the multifactorial process of otosclerosis-related hearing loss.

“…G1 is the Nitinol group, and G2 is the manually crimping group, if present. Van Rompaey et al (20) did not report a direct comparison between Nitinol and manually crimping prostheses in their 2009 article but reported this comparison in an abstract in early 2010 (21). These studies were combined.…”

“…We conducted a sample size analysis on summary data of primary stapes surgery cases in the Common Otology Database using G*Power (G*Power 3, Heinrich Heine Universität, Düsseldorf, Germany) (20,33,34). The latter was done to indicate the sample size needed to demonstrate a statistically significant difference in postoperative hearing gain.…”

Superiority could probably not be demonstrated because of insufficient sample size. Research addressing technical improvements in stapes surgery should agree on a base sample size able to detect the smallest difference that is clinically important or accept the null hypothesis. With data gathered in the Common Otology Database as basis, a sample size of at least 413 patients is needed in both the intervention and the control group. Other clinical outcome measures also should be explored.

Prospective Effectiveness of Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis in a Multicenter Audit Setting

Abstract: Results of hearing outcome are similar to previous, primarily retrospective, single-center studies. Our data confirm the effectiveness of stapes surgery in patients with otosclerosis.
