Quality-of-Life Outcomes following Surgical Treatment of Ménière’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis:

ObjectiveSeveral surgical interventions are offered to patients with Meniere’s disease (MD) who fail medical management. Although outcomes have historically been reported according to American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery guidelines, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to evaluate treatments. This study reviews PROMs used to assess surgical treatments for MD and compares the effect of each intervention based on PROM scores.Data SourcesPubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Web of Science.Review MethodsThis is a systematic review and meta-analysis of English-language studies that reported PROMs for surgical treatments of MD. Two independent investigators assessed study eligibility, rated the quality using Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS), and abstracted data for comparative analysis. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis of pooled data.ResultsOf 148 unique studies identified, 11 satisfied inclusion criteria. The Meniere’s Disease Outco...
