ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a common acute disease with an incidence of 0.5-2/10,000. This study aimed to determine whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be indicators for SSNHL.METHODS:
A total of 60 confirmed cases of SSNHL and 60 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs were compared between these groups. The SSNHL patients were divided into two groups, according to therapeutic effect an effective group and an ineffective group. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs before and after treatment were compared between these two groups.RESULTS:
The average NLRs and PLRs of these patients were both significantly higher than in controls. The average NLRs and PLRs of the ineffective group were both significantly higher than those of the effective group.CONCLUSION:
Peripheral blood NLR and PLR could be used as a convenient, reliable, and cost-effective indicator to predict the prognosis of SSNHL.Palavras-chave
