The Impact of Age as a Factor on the Susceptibility to Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Across Different Seasons in the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River Region: A Retrospective Single-Center Study
To investigate the impact of age on the susceptibility to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) across different seasons in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Methods
2
Baseline data were collected from patients with SSNHL admitted for inpatient treatment at Jiangsu Province Hospital. The age compositions of patients admitted during different seasons were analyzed in combination with their admission times.
Results
2
The age range of admitted patients was 4-94 years
with an average age of approximately 49 years and a median age of 51 years. There were age differences among patients with SSNHL admitted in different seasons
with the autumn season showing the highest average age and the greatest proportion of elderly patients
and the difference was statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age might significantly influence the seasonal susceptibility to SSNHL. Compared to summer
older age might be a risk factor for the occurrence of SSNHL in autumn.
Conclusion
2
The climatic characteristics of autumn may contribute to an increased incidence of SSNHL among elderly patients.
