A prognostic test in cases of Bell's palsy must be accurate and applicable early in the course of the disease. The case history is examined in 239 patients with Bell's palsy. The prognostic value of the case history, taste impairment and sialometry is investigated in a series of untreated patients who were followed up for 12 months. Sialometry is advocated as a reliable progostic indicator in the individual patient if a strong stimulant is used. None of the other examined parameters discrimates between good and poor outcome with reasonable accuracy. A follow-up time of 12 months is advocated in determining the ultimate outcome of a Bell's palsy.
贝尔面瘫病例的预后测试必须准确且能在疾病早期应用。对239例贝尔面瘫患者进行了病史检查。在一系列未经治疗且随访12个月的患者中，研究了病史、味觉障碍和唾液分泌测量法的预后价值。如果使用强刺激物，唾液分泌测量法被认为是个体患者可靠的预后指标。其他检查参数均无法以合理的准确性区分预后良好和不良的情况。在确定贝尔面瘫的最终预后时，主张随访时间为12个月。
