Retrospective Health Care Utilisation and Current Quality of Life in Adults With Chronic Otitis Media Who Had a Middle Ear Surgery
December 19, 2023 updated by: Cochlear
A Retrospective Mapping of Health Care Utilisation and Current Quality of Life Status in Adult Subjects With a History of Chronic Otitis Media With or Without Cholesteatoma Who Have Undergone a Primary Tympanoplasty
The objective of this multicentre study is to evaluate the standard of care of participants diagnosed with Chronic Otitis Media that have already gone through a first middle ear surgery but still have at least a moderate hearing loss.
The study has a retrospective part (extraction of medical chart data) and a prospective part with a survey and three questionnaires collecting data on the use of health care services, on health related quality of life and hearing performance.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Hearing performance assessed via an audiogram
Time Frame: Pre-primary tympanoplasty
|
PTA4 (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz) for both air and bone conduction, under unaided and when applicable aided conditions.
Data obtained from participant medical records.
|
Pre-primary tympanoplasty
|
Hearing performance assessed via an audiogram
Time Frame: Post- primary tympanoplasty during follow-up appointment (clinic dependent)
|
PTA4 (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz) for both air and bone conduction, under unaided and when applicable aided conditions.
Data obtained from participant medical records.
|
Post- primary tympanoplasty during follow-up appointment (clinic dependent)
|
Hearing performance assessed via an audiogram
Time Frame: Between 2018 and the time of enrolment
|
PTA4 (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz) for both air and bone conduction, under unaided and when applicable aided conditions.

|
Health care costs
Time Frame: From primary tympanoplasty to time of enrolment.
|
Direct medical costs associated to Chronic Otitis Media (COM)-related health care utilisation are obtained from medical records and calculated for each participant using unit cost in each participating country
|
From primary tympanoplasty to time of enrolment.
|
Socio-economic status and health care data via the Client Service Receipt Inventory (CSRI) survey
Time Frame: At enrolment
|
Demographic data, medical history, hearing rehabilitation, health care utilisation related to ear infection and hearing difficulties and employment information data are collected.
|
At enrolment
|
Self-reported health status and health related quality of life via the Health Utilities Index Mark III (HUI3) questionnaire.
Time Frame: At enrolment
|
HUI provides descriptive evidence on multiple dimensions of health status, a score for each dimension of health and an overall Health Related Quality of life score.
The HUI3 classification system is comprised of 8 attributes: Vision, Hearing, Speech, Ambulation, Dexterity, Emotion, Cognition and Pain - each with 5 or 6 levels of ability/disability The scoring systems provide utility (preference) scores on a generic scale where 0.00 indicates death and 1.00 indicates perfect health.
|
At enrolment
|
Self-reported health related quality of life of participants with COM via the Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test-15 (COMOT-15) questionnaire.
Time Frame: At enrolment
|
COMOT-15 measures Health Related Quality of life of participants with COM.
It consists of three subscales: ear symptoms, hearing function, and mental health forming the overall score.
In addition, two questions related to COM are asked: one on the general evaluation of quality of life and one on the frequency of doctor visits in the last six months.
The total score and the sub-scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale by dividing the sum of the raw scores of the items by the sum of spans of the items, then multiplying by 100.
A higher score indicates a worse health-related quality of life.
|
At enrolment
|
Self-reported auditory disability via the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ-12) questionnaire
Time Frame: At enrolment
|
SSQ-12 measures speech, spatial and hearing experiences.
The total score summarizes these parameters.
A scale from 0 to 10 is used.
A mark 0 means "be quite unable to do or experience what is described" and a mark 10 means "be perfectly able to do or experience what is described in the question".
|
At enrolment
|
Validation of the COMOT-15 questionnaire in French and Spanish
Time Frame: Within one year of questionnaire completion
|
Questionnaire to be completed by a minimum of 30 participants per language with an accompanying audiogram done within 12 months of questionnaire completion.
The Cronbach's alpha value of 0.7 is used as a cut-off to measure consistency between the data.
|
Within one year of questionnaire completion
