| Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, and to provide scientific basis for further clinical treatment and prognosis judgment. Methods: The demographic data, clinical features and treatments of 52 patients with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome who were treated in Xi’an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2016 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. House-brackmann (HB) grading method was used as the evaluation standard of facial nerve function. According to the recovery of facial paralysis after treatment, patients were divided into good prognosis group (n=37) and poor prognosis group (n=15). Logistic multifactor regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of facial paralysis in Ramsay-Hunt syndrome. Results: There was no significant correlation between the prognosis of facial paralysis in Ramsay-Hunt syndrome and gender, hearing loss or dizziness, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and the duration of acupuncture treatment in patients. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age of onset, diabetes mellitus, severity of initial facial paralysis, onset to start of treatment and treatment plan were statistically significant for prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: Age of onset, severity of initial facial paralysis, diabetes mellitus, onset to start of treatment and treatment plan were independent factors affecting the prognosis of facial paralysis in Ramsay-Hunt syndrome. |
