Outcomes of Tympanoplasty After Cleft Palate Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze graft success rates and hearing outcomes in patients with a history of cleft palate (CP) repair undergoing tympanoplasty.

Data sources

PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL.

Review methods

Per PRISMA guidelines, the databases were searched from date of inception through December 14, 2021. Studies of patients with previous CP repair who underwent tympanoplasty were included. Meta-analysis of proportions, continuous measures, odds ratios (ORs), and meta-regression were used to analyze graft success and hearing outcomes after tympanoplasty.

Results

A total of 323 patients with CP repair and 1169 controls were included. The proportion of graft success was 86.7% (95% CI, 76.1%-94.5%) in patients with CP repair and 88.8% (95% CI, 76.9-96.8) in controls. The
