Implication

Observational study evaluates diagnostic accuracy of HRCT against intraoperative findings in chronic otitis media, indicating strong agreement.

Key Points

  • HRCT showed perfect agreement for soft-tissue opacity with surgery, confirming its diagnostic reliability.
  • Among forty-nine patients, critical bony changes like scutum erosion achieved substantial agreement (κ = 0.84), implying HRCT's usefulness.
  • Moderate agreement was observed for facial canal dehiscence and labyrinthine fistula, suggesting limitations in soft-tissue evaluation.
  • Overall concordance with intraoperative assessments underscores HRCT's role in surgical planning for patients with chronic otitis media.
