The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) disease severity and recovery.
A retrospective medical chart review was performed on 90 patients ( = 48 men; = 59.8 years, = 15.8) evaluated for ISSNHL. Major CVD risk factors (current tobacco smoking, diabetes, total cholesterol ≥ 240 mg/dl or treatment, and hypertension [systolic blood pressure [BP]/diastolic BP ≥ 140/ ≥ 90 mmHg or treatment]) determined two CVD risk groups: lower (no major risk factors) and higher (one or more risk factors). Two pure-tone averages (PTAs) were computed: PTA and PTA. Complete recovery of ISSNHL was defined as PTA - PTA ≥ 10 dB. Logistic regression estimated the odds of ISSNHL recovery by CVD risk status adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, noise exposure, and treatment.
Most patients (67.8%) had one or more CVD risk factors. Severity of initial low- and high-frequency hearing loss was similar between CVD risk groups. Recovery was 53.2% for PTA and 32.9% for PTA. With multivariable adjustment, current/former smoking was associated with lower odds of PTA recovery ( = 0.27; 95% CI [0.08, 0.92]). Neither higher CVD risk status nor individual CVD risk factors had a significant association with recovery. For every one-unit increase in Framingham Risk Score, odds of PTA recovery were 0.95 times lower (95% CI [0.90, 1.00]) after accounting for age, sex, body mass index, noise exposure, and treatment/time-to-treatment grouping ( = .056).
The prognosis of low-frequency ISSNHL recovery is worse among current/former smokers than nonsmokers. Other CVD risk factors and aggregate risk are not significantly related to recovery.
本研究旨在探讨心血管疾病(CVD)危险因素与特发性突发性聋(ISSNHL)疾病严重程度和恢复之间的关系。
对 90 例(男性 48 例;平均年龄 59.8 岁,标准差 15.8 岁)接受 ISSNHL 评估的患者进行回顾性病历回顾。根据主要 CVD 危险因素(当前吸烟、糖尿病、总胆固醇≥240mg/dl 或治疗、高血压[收缩压/舒张压≥140/≥90mmHg 或治疗])将 CVD 风险分为两组:低风险(无主要危险因素)和高风险(一个或多个危险因素)。计算了两个纯音平均值(PTA):PTA 和 PTA。将 ISSNHL 完全恢复定义为 PTA-PTA≥10dB。使用 logistic 回归在调整年龄、性别、体重指数、噪声暴露和治疗的情况下,根据 CVD 风险状况估计 ISSNHL 恢复的可能性。
大多数患者(67.8%)有一个或多个 CVD 危险因素。低、高频听力损失初始严重程度在 CVD 风险组之间相似。PTA 的恢复率为 53.2%,PTA 的恢复率为 32.9%。经多变量调整后,当前/以前吸烟与 PTA 恢复的可能性较低相关( = 0.27;95%置信区间[0.08,0.92])。较高的 CVD 风险状况或个别 CVD 危险因素与恢复均无显著相关性。在考虑年龄、性别、体重指数、噪声暴露和治疗/治疗时间分组后,Framingham 风险评分每增加一个单位,PTA 恢复的可能性降低 0.95 倍(95%置信区间[0.90,1.00])( =.056)。
与不吸烟者相比,当前/以前吸烟者低频 ISSNHL 恢复的预后更差。其他 CVD 危险因素和总体风险与恢复无显著关系。
