- Abstract
- Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical implications of diabetes for the management of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL).
Study design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Subjects and methods: ISSNHL patients (N = 403) who received inpatient management between January 2015 and December 2018 were analyzed. All were managed by a uniform treatment protocol of high-dose steroid therapy and salvage intratympanic steroid injections. Treatment results were evaluated according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery's criteria 3 months after the start of treatment. We compared the clinical parameters and treatment outcomes of ISSNHL with and without diabetes. We also evaluated the influence of diabetes on the prognosis of ISSNHL by propensity score matching.
Results: Overall, of the 403 ISSNHL patients, 94 (23.3%) had diabetes, and 11 were newly diagnosed with diabetes. The patients with diabetes were older than those without diabetes (P < .001), and their initial hearing threshold was significantly higher (P < .001). The diabetic patients were hospitalized for a longer period, and their hearing recovery rate was lower. However, when age, sex, and initial hearing level were adjusted by propensity score matching, the diabetic patients and matched controls yielded similar treatment results.
Conclusions: ISSNHL with diabetes usually presents with severe hearing loss and requires longer hospitalization. However, diabetes itself may not influence the prognosis of ISSNHL. Proper management must be provided in ISSNHL with diabetes.
