Correlation between Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) and tympanoplasty-A prospective study

Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Tympanoplasty results depend on the severity of middle ear disease present preoperatively. Various grading systems were developed for this. The present study was carried out to determine the Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) score and categorise the patients into mild, moderate and severe MERI and study the relation between MERI and outcome of tympanoplasty.
