Journal Article
The relationship between serum homocysteine levels and sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a meta-analysis
2023
Overview
Objective
There was disagreement over the association between serum/plasma homocysteine (HCY) levels and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Through the use of a meta-analysis, this study aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in serum homocysteine levels between the SSNHL group and the control group.
Design
The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and PubMed databases were all thoroughly searched. The two independent reviewers thoroughly examined the initially searched articles. The data results were calculated by standard mean difference (SMD) or odds ratios (OR). Review Manager (version 5.3) was applied to statistical data.
Study sample
There were 766 participants in the 6 trials with continuous outcomes that were part of the meta-analysis A. In addition, meta-analysis B, which included 961 people, contained a total of 3 studies with dichotomous results.
Results
Both meta-analyses revealed the same conclusion that serum/plasma HCY levels in the SSNHL patients are higher than those in the controls (SMD 0.41, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.11 to 0.72,
P
< 0.01; OR 3.27, 95 % CI 2.16 to 4.94,
P
< 0.01).
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that the SSNHL patients' serum/plasma HCY levels were greater than those of the control group.
