Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation between prognosis and vertigo and status of the vestibule functions with the patients of the sudden deafness (SD).Methods For 161 patients of the SD, the parameters of the hearing before treatment, vertigo and vestibule functions, were analyzed to establish a statistic model by means of Logistic regression with single factor analysis of variance, Logistic regression analysis and Chi square test.Results The single factor analysis of variance and Chi square revealed statistical differences between prognosis of the SD and hearing before treatment(P0.05).Conclusion If the patients with SD had more severe hearing loss, the prognosis would be less successful. The normal or abnormal caloric tests had influence for the prognosis of the SD, but vertigo showed influence on prognosis only when caloric test was abnormal. The degree of hearing loss was not related to that of vertigo or vestibule functions while the sudden deafness accompanied with vertigo was not due to the damage of vestibular functions.
