Abstract
Based on a retrospective post-hoc analysis from three randomized controlled trials in nearly 600 patients, tympanostomy tube occlusion rates was not increased in patients who did not receive otic drops. From this analysis, occlusion is likely caused primarily by peri-operative otorrhea since patency rates approached 99% in the absence of this complication.
