Middle ear risk index (MERI) as a prognostic factor for tympanoplasty success in children

Tympanoplasty performed in childhood has been controversial over the years because there is no clarity in determining what prognostic factors lead to surgical success. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) score on the success of pediatric tympano...
