Patients with >20 pack-year smoking history were also more likely to have recurrence (HR 1.59, 95% CI 0.95-2.67) after adjusting for overall stage. Heavier smoking >20 pack-years was the strongest smoking metric associated with 2-times worse survival and recurrence. Our findings suggest that >20 pack-year smoking history may be a more useful cutoff for risk stratification models but requires further validation. 20 pack-year smoking history may be a more useful cutoff for risk stratification models but requires further validation. To investigate the Effect of concurrent nasal surgery on the eustachian tube function (ETF) and myringoplasty outcomes for the chronic perforations with coexistent nasal pathology. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 93 patients with perforations who underwent same-day myringoplasty and nasal-septal surgery. Group A exhibited septal deviations (n=34) and Group B inflammatory sinus disease (n=59). Groups were compared with respect to pre- and postoperative air-bone gaps (ABGs), graft success rates and ETF (Eustachian tube score [ETS] and seven-item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire [ETDQ-7]) at 6 and 24months. Graft success rates were 100.0% in Group A and 98.3% in Group B at 6months postoperatively (P=0.445). Graft success rates were 85.3% in Group A and 96.6% in Group B at 24months postoperatively (P=0.046), the re-perforation rate was significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (P=0.015). Although the preoperative ETS was similar between two groups, the postoperative ETS in the Group B was significantly higher compared with Group A regardless of at postoperative 6th and 24th months. In addition, difference was significant for
