Abstract
The present study evaluates the response to betahistine in patients who presented vestibular drops attacks in the context of Ménière's disease (MD) and the factors that can predict an unfavorable response to it. A total of 43 patients were analyzed, out of which 33 were diagnosed with MD. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. Data as regards age, accompanying symptoms, etiological diagnosis and response to MD treatment were collected. A statistical analysis was carried out, and we found that the disease evolution time and specific alterations in the vestibulospinal and oculomotor physical examination present an unfavorable response to betahistine. Failures for betahistine were treated with intratympanic gentamicin, with which symptomatic control was achieved in all cases.

Laryngoscope 2023; 133:3178-3184. [PMID: 37036082 DOI: 10.1002/lary.30690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study goals were to compare the long-term efficacy of semicircular canal plugging (SCP) with labyrinthectomy in the treatment of advanced Meniere's disease (MD). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING Single tertiary medical center. METHODS A total of 116 MD patients (TSCP group of 90; labyrinthectomy group of 26) with complete medical documents in Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital, from March 2017 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including a battery of auditory and vestibular function tests, recovery time from imbalance and function level scores (FLS). RESULTS The total control rate of vertigo in the TSCP group was 96.7% (87/90). The rate of hearing loss was 23.3% (21/90). The control rate of vertigo in the labyrinthectomy group was 100% (26/26). All patients lost their auditory function after labyrinthectomy with a 100% hearing loss rate. There was no significant difference in the vertigo control rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). The hearing loss rate in the TSCP group was significantly lower than that in the labyrinthectomy group (P < 0.00). The median time recovered from imbalance was 15 days in TSCP group and 21 days in labyrinthectomy group, which is significantly different (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the FLS between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared to labyrinthectomy, TSCP can preserve hearing at a high probability; meanwhile, otolith organ function preservation benefits patients from faster vestibular compensation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 133:3178-3184, 2023.

Lin HC, Xirasagar S, Wang CH, Cheng YF, Liu TC, Yang TH. A Nationwide Population-Based Study on the Association between Land Transport Accident and Peripheral Vestibular Disorders. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18126570. [PMID: 34207241 PMCID: PMC8296321 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18126570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
This case–control study aimed to investigate the association of peripheral vestibular disorders (PVD) with subsequent land transport accidents. Data for this study were obtained from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) dataset. We retrieved 8704 subjects who were newly found to have land transport accidents as cases. Their diagnosis date was used as their index date. Controls were identified by propensity score matching (one per case, n = 8704 controls) from the NHI dataset with their index date being the date of their first health service claim in 2017. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to calculate the prior PVD odds ratio of cases vs. controls. We found that 2.36% of the sampled patients had been diagnosed with PVD before the index date, 3.37% among cases and 1.36% among controls. Chi-square test revealed that there was a significant association between land transport accident and PVD (p < 0.001). Furthermore, multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that cases were more likely to have had a prior PVD diagnosis when compared to controls (OR = 2.533; 95% CI = 2.041–3.143; p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and hyperlipidemia, cases had a greater tendency to have a prior diagnosis of PVD than controls (OR = 3.001, 95% CI = 2.410–3.741, p < 0.001). We conclude that patients with PVD are at twofold higher odds for land transport accidents.
