Intratympanic corticosteroids vs systemic corticosteroids

Change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB Negative values represent lowering and positive values represent raising of the hearing threshold. A lower hearing threshold represents hearing improvement. Â · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Intratympanic corticosteroids showed no clear difference in change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB… compared with systemic corticosteroids (low certainty).

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) vs systemic corticosteroids alone

Change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB Negative values represent lowering and positive values represent raising of the hearing threshold. A lower hearing threshold represents hearing improvement. Â · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) showed no clear difference in change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB… compared with systemic corticosteroids alone (low certainty).

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) vs systemic corticosteroids alone

Final hearing threshold determined by PTA (a lower value represents better hearing) · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

It is very uncertain whether intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) changes final hearing threshold determined by PTA A lower value represents… compared with systemic corticosteroids alone (very low certainty).
