The improvement in the mean air conduction level was 12.9 dB. The mean postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) was 25.0 dB. The ABG decreased to within 20 dB in 40.7% of the cases. As a result of univariate logistic regression analysis, primary or planned second stage surgery, closed mastoid cavity, and presence of the chorda tympani nerve were identified as favorable factors for successful ossiculoplasty.
