Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the endoscopic and microscopic ossiculoplasty in patients with chronic otitis media. Methods: MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Library databases as well as other sources were searched by two independent reviewers. Controlled studies comparing endoscopic and microscopic ossiculoplasty in patients with chronic otitis media were included. Mean air–bone gap closure was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were operation time and complications. Results: Three studies met the inclusion criteria. No statistically significant differences in audiometric outcomes between endoscopic and microscopic groups in all three included studies were reported. Although endoscopic technique was related to a fewer number of postoperative complications and a shorter operation time, these outcomes did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Endoscopic ossiculoplasty is associated with similar postoperative hearing results compared to the traditional microscopic approach. A trend towards a shorter operative time and reduced morbidity for the endoscopic approach has been observed, but well-designed randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm this finding.
