Sensorineural hearing loss in chronic otitis media. 1989

A statistical study was done on the sensorineural component in hearing loss, using 595 patients suffering from Chronic Otitis Media (COM); of these, 195 with monolateral COM were taken into consideration. They presented criteria of valuation which excluded other possible causes of sensorineural hearing loss, such as exposure to acoustic trauma, ototoxic drugs, cardiovascular disease, past head injury and hereditary causes. The contralateral (healthy) ear served as a control. We determined the average sensorineural component in the hearing losses in relation to the age of onset and duration of the disease, examining it in relation to other eventual aural complications such as cholesteatoma. On the basis of the data obtained, we believe that the sensorineural component in hearing loss does not change with respect to the age of onset of COM, but the duration of COM does exert a significant influence.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
