Evaluation and Analysis of Quality of Life Before and After Surgery in Patients with Middle Ear Cholesteatoma
Objective: To study the difference in quality of life before and after surgery in patients with middle ear cholesteatoma. Methods: Our hospital received 113 patients with middle ear cholesteatoma who underwent surgical treatment from August 2020 to March 2023 as the subjects of this study. The ZCMEI-21 scoring scale was used to evaluate the patients’ preoperative and postoperative quality of life. At the same time, the patients’ age, gender, occupation, living environment, and preoperative and postoperative bone conduction hearing thresholds, air conduction hearing thresholds, and air-bone conduction differences were understood. Results: There were significant differences in preoperative and postoperative ZCMEI-21 scores, bone conduction hearing thresholds, air conduction hearing thresholds, and air-bone conduction difference values among patients with different ages, genders, occupations, and living environments, P < 0.05. Conclusion: Surgical treatment can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with middle ear cholesteatoma. Therefore, surgical treatment can be promoted.
