Implication

Analytical study reveals good correlations among Eustachian tube tests in patients with perforated tympanic membranes, indicating effective assessment methods.

Key Points

Eustachian tube function assessment showed good correlation among tests, highlighting diagnostic potential.
Nasopharyngeal assessment correlated strongly with both methylene blue tests and inflation tests (P-value < 0.001).
The study involved 65 patients, average age 30.7 years, with a majority being female at 72.3%.
Comprehensive testing is crucial for Eustachian tube characterization, with recommendations for further imaging when necessary.
