Prognosis of 109 cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children
Objective:To analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of sudden sensorineural deafness in chil-dren,and to provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 109 chil-dren with sudden deafness admitted to our hospital from 2016 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The children were grouped according to eight related factors,including gender,age,climate,duration of hearing loss,concom-itant symptoms,degree of hearing loss,sicken ear,and auditory curve.The chi-square test was used for univari-ate analysis,and logistic regression was employed to identify factors influencing prognosis.Results:After conven-tional treatment,56 cases were ineffective(51.40%),30 cases were effective(27.5%),13 cases were effective(11.9%),10 cases were cured(9.2%),and the total effective rate was 48.6%.Among concomitant symptoms,children with tinnitus had better treatment results(P<0.05);In the degree of hearing loss,the effective rate of mild hearing loss was the highest(83.3%),and the effective rate of very severe hearing loss was the lowest(40.0%).The prognosis of low frequency decline and high frequency decline were better(P<0.05);There was no significant correlation between gender,age,climate,duration of hearing loss,sicken ear and prognosis(P>0.05).Conclusion:The auditory curve and the degree of hearing loss are the factors affecting the prognosis of children with sudden deafness.Additionally,children with tinnitus tend to have a better prognosis.
