Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of atticoantral/unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media in patients with chronic ear discharge. Materials and Methods: This Cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Hayatabad Medical Complex and Department of ENT, Naseerullah Khan Babar memorial Hospital, Peshawar from August 2018 to February 2019. In this study 199 patients were enrolled with consecutive sampling. Detailed demographic data like history and physical examination were taken from patients. All patients were subjected to detailed otoscopic examination and pure tone audiometery by a consultant. A detailed performa was designed in which all information of the patients like name, age, gender, duration of symptoms and CSOM were recorded by SPSS analysis. Results: With a standard deviation of ± 10.334, the average age of participants in this study was 29 years. There were more males than women among the patients present, with 60% of them being men. Twelve percent of patients with chronic discharge developed CSOM, compared to 90% of those who didn't have the condition at all. Conclusion: Our study shows that individuals who come with persistent ear drainage frequently have hazardous ears.
