Impact of Otologic Surgery on Medical and Social Outcomes in Adults With Hearing Loss.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol
February 2025
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that surgical otologic intervention for any type of adult hearing loss decreases the odds for incident adverse life events (ALEs) and medical comorbidities (MCBs).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort database study.
Methods: Electronic medical record data from the TriNetX Research Network were queried for adults (age ≥18 years) with congenital, sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss (HL).
Association of type 2 diabetes mellitus with sensorineural hearing loss - A population-based analysis.
Neuro Endocrinol Lett
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) compared to non-diabetic individuals.
- Researchers used data from a large electronic medical records database from 2003-2022, focusing on patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and stratifying them by recent HbA1c levels and age.
- Results indicated that diabetic patients had a significantly greater risk of SNHL, particularly among older patients and those with higher HbA1c levels, suggesting a need for audiometric screening in this population.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that conductive hearing loss (CHL) is associated with dementia, and that middle ear reconstruction (MER) associates with improved outcomes for these measures in a multinational electronic health records database.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study with propensity-score matching (PSM).
Setting: TriNetX is a research database representing about 110 million patients from the United States, Taiwan, Brazil, and India.
Cognitive and language outcomes for pediatric hearing loss with otologic surgery.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
March 2024
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that surgical otologic intervention for any type of pediatric hearing loss decreases the odds for incident adverse cognitive and linguistic developmental outcomes.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort database study.
Methods: Electronic medical record data from the TriNetX Research Network were queried for children with congenital, sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss (HL) between ages 0 and 5 years.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that use of cigarettes or other products with either cigarette-like smoke profile or high nicotine content by young populations increases the odds of developing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: TriNetX US Collaborative Network (2003-2022).
