The Relationship between Cholesteatoma Stage and Hearing Bone Erosion Degree in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Patients with Cholesteatoma at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear mucosa and mastoid space. Cholesteatoma is an ectopic keratinized epithelial tissue that develops through the mucosa of the middle ear cavity and desquamates, resulting in the accumulation of keratin and epithelial debris. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the stage of cholesteatoma and the degree of erosion of the ossicles in patients CSOM with cholesteatoma at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study was an observational case series study. A total of 70 research subjects were included in this study, and the research subjects met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study were patients with a diagnosis of CSOM with cholesteatoma at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia and have complete medical record data. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 25. Correlation analysis between cholesteatoma stage and degree of osseous erosion was performed using the Spearman correlation test, p<0.05. Results: The majority of research subjects were aged 21-30 years (28.6%) and were male (51.4%). Based on clinical symptoms, the majority of patients experience otorrhoea for 5 to 10 years (47.1%), perforated type membrane total tympani (54.3%), degree of erosion of the ossicles type D (48.6%), stage 4 cholesteatoma (61.4%) and granulation tissue (81.4%). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the stage of cholesteatoma and the degree of erosion of the ossicles in patients with CSOM (chronic suppurative otitis media) with cholesteatoma at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.
