Abstract:
Background Cholesteatoma is described as the accumulation of squamous epithelium and keratinocytes within and around the middle ear cleft. There is a paucity of information regarding demographic and treatment outcomes for cholesteatoma in Saudi Arabia. An evaluation of the prevalence of comorbidities, complications and associations, of surgical treatment and demographics in the Qassim region was conducted. Methods This was a six-year retrospective review of patients treated for cholesteatoma at a private health facility, from August 2016 to July 2022. Data for age, gender, nationality, presence of comorbidities, type of surgery, type of anesthesia, and associated complications were collected from the electronic medical records and analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. Results A total of 60 participants records were retrieved. The average age of the study population was ([43.2 ±SD] 21.8) years. There was a slightly higher male preponderance (males 51.7% and females 48.3%). Hypertension was the most commonly reported comorbidity (31.7%), followed by diabetes mellitus (25%). Age and gender were not statistically significantly associated with type of surgery or complications. Conclusion Demographic variables were not significantly associated with clinical correlates, however, further studies with larger sample sizes, robust clinical information, and long-term follow-up are required.
摘要:
背景胆脂瘤被描述为中耳间隙内和周围的鳞状上皮和角质形成细胞的积累。关于沙特阿拉伯胆脂瘤的人口统计学和治疗结果的信息很少。对合并症患病率的评估,并发症和关联,进行了Qassim地区的手术治疗和人口统计学。方法这是一项为期六年的回顾性研究,对在私人医疗机构接受治疗的胆脂瘤患者进行了回顾性研究。从2016年8月到2022年7月。年龄数据,性别,国籍,合并症的存在,手术类型,麻醉类型,从电子病历中收集相关并发症,并使用社会科学统计软件包软件进行分析.结果共检索到60份参与者记录。研究人群的平均年龄为([43.2±SD]21.8)岁。男性优势略高(男性51.7%,女性48.3%)。高血压是最常见的合并症(31.7%),其次是糖尿病(25%)。年龄和性别与手术类型或并发症无统计学意义。结论人口统计变量与临床相关因素无显著相关性,然而,用更大的样本量进行进一步的研究,可靠的临床信息,需要长期随访。
