Frailty and Steroid Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Key Points

• The study investigates the relationship between frailty scores and treatment outcomes in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
• Assessment of frailty scores in patients with SSNHL.
• Analysis of treatment selection and outcomes following steroid administration.
• Comparison of audiometric results based on frailty status.
• A significant association was found between frailty scores and treatment selection.
• No significant correlation was observed between frailty scores and audiometric outcomes.
• Individualized treatment may be suitable for frail patients without affecting hearing recovery.
