The aim of this study was to survey the knowledge and treatment management practices for single-sided deafness (SSD) among different subspecialties of otolaryngology.
A questionnaire was sent via Google Sheets to members of the Turkish and Egyptian Otorhinolaryngology Societies between December 2021 and February 2022. For the statistical analysis, the respondents were divided into 3 groups as otologists, non-otologists, and residents at the department of otolaryngology-head and neck department.
There were no statistically significant differences between otologists and non-otologists in radiological imaging (child P = .469, adult P = .140) and preferred treatment method (child P = .546, adult P = .106). However, otolaryngologists showed significant differences in radiological evaluation (P <.001), vestibular evaluation (P = .000), and frequency of treatment options recommended for pediatric and adult SSD patients (P = .000).
There were no significant differences in SSD diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation between otologists and non-otologists. However, when comparing pediatric and adult patients, there was a difference in the treatment management of SSD patients.
本研究旨在调查耳鼻喉科不同亚专业对单侧聋(SSD)的知识和治疗管理实践。
2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 2 月期间,通过 Google Sheets 向土耳其和埃及耳鼻喉科学会的成员发送了一份问卷。为了进行统计分析,将受访者分为 3 组:耳科医生、非耳科医生和耳鼻喉科/头颈科住院医师。
在影像学检查(儿童 P =.469,成人 P =.140)和首选治疗方法(儿童 P =.546,成人 P =.106)方面,耳科医生和非耳科医生之间没有统计学上的显著差异。然而,耳科医生在影像学评估(P <.001)、前庭评估(P =.000)以及推荐给儿科和成人 SSD 患者的治疗方案的频率方面存在显著差异(P =.000)。
耳科医生和非耳科医生在 SSD 的诊断、治疗和康复方面没有显著差异。然而,在比较儿科和成人患者时,SSD 患者的治疗管理存在差异。
