We present the first epidemiological study of cholesteatoma using data from UK BioBank. We identified 1140 cholesteatoma cases from the UK Biobank cohort. These cases were compared with two different control groups: matched ear disease controls and ear disease-free controls. Demographic and ICD-10 data are comprehensively summarised from our case–control study. Cholesteatoma was significantly associated with male sex, increasing age and greater deprivation.
