“…28–30 We used multivariable linear regression to analyse the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, which did not show any significance in the present study when it was adjusted for several promising factors including the Framingham risk score. As both the Framingham risk score and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio are considered possible associated factors for atherosclerosis and microvascular structure inflammation in pathophysiology, 31 they can be confounding factors. Therefore, further investigation is necessary to determine the association between the Framingham risk score and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with idiopathic sudden SNHL.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the Framingham risk score as a prognostic tool for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients.MethodsMedical records were reviewed for unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients between January 2010 and October 2017. The 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease was calculated. Patients were subdivided into groups: group 1 – Framingham risk score of less than 10 per cent (n = 28); group 2 – score of 10 to less than 20 per cent (n = 6); and group 3 – score of 20 per cent or higher (n = 5).ResultsInitial pure tone average and Framingham risk score were not significantly associated (p = 0.32). Thirteen patients in group 1 recovered completely (46.4 per cent), but none in groups 2 and 3 showed complete recovery. Initial pure tone average and Framingham risk score were significantly associated in multivariable linear regression analysis (R2 = 0.36). The regression coefficient was 0.33 (p = 0.003) for initial pure tone average and −0.67 (p = 0.005) for Framingham risk score.ConclusionFramingham risk score may be useful in predicting outcomes for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients, as those with a higher score showed poorer hearing recovery.
