Association between Vitamin D Supplements, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Hyperbaric Therapy in Patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

ABSTRACT: The effect of vitamin D supplementation to patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, on the markers of the oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium was investigated. Patients were divided into two groups: those who did and did not receive vitamin D (cholecalciferol at 4000 IU/24 h). Concentrations of the following compounds, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), malondialdehyde (MDA), conjugated dienes (CD) in plasma and erythrocytes and activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes, were determined. Haemoglobin (HGB) and haematocrit (HCT) were measured. Blood for analyses was collected from the basilic vein at three time points: before the first HBO procedure, up to 5 min after the first procedure, and after 14 procedures. No statistically significant differences in parameters tested were found between patients who did and did not receive vitamin D. In patients without supplementation, an increase of 53.2% (P ≤ 0.05) in erythrocyte TBARS was observed after the first HBO treatment. In patients receiving vitamin D, a reduction of 27.6% (P ≤ 0.05) was observed in erythrocyte MDA after 14 HBO treatments vs. that after the first treatment. In both groups, a decrease of 33.3% in plasma CD was observed after 14 treatments vs. that after the first treatment (P ≤ 0.05 and P ≤ 0.01, respectively). No statistically significant changes were observed in the erythrocyte SOD, GPx, and CAT activities and in HCT. A reduction of HGB concentration of 10.9% (P ≤ 0.05) was demonstrated in nonsupplemented patients after 14 treatments compared with baseline. The results confirm that the effect of HBO therapy on oxidative stress markers is inconclusive and complex. Repeated HBO procedures can induce adaptive changes which protect against disruption of the oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium. It is possible that vitamin D supplementation inhibits the process of lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes.

Project description:IntroductionTo compare inpatient treated patients with idiopathic (ISSNHL) and non-idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (NISSNHL) regarding frequency, hearing loss, treatment and outcome.MethodsAll 574 inpatient patients (51% male, median age: 60 years) with ISSNHL and NISSNHL, who were treated in federal state Thuringia in 2011 and 2012, were included retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed.ResultsISSNHL was diagnosed in 490 patients (85%), NISSNHL in 84 patients (15%). 49% of these cases had hearing loss due to acute otitis media, 37% through varicella-zoster infection or Lyme disease, 10% through Menière disease and 7% due to other reasons. Patients with ISSNHL and NISSNHL showed no difference between age, gender, side of hearing loss, presence of tinnitus or vertigo and their comorbidities. 45% of patients with ISSNHL and 62% with NISSNHL had an outpatient treatment prior to inpatient treatment (p < 0.001). The mean interval between onset of hearing loss to inpatient treatment was shorter in ISSNHL (7.7 days) than in NISSNHL (8.9 days; p = 0.02). The initial hearing loss of the three most affected frequencies in pure-tone average (3PTAmax) scaled 72.9 dBHL ± 31.3 dBHL in ISSNHL and 67.4 dBHL ± 30.5 dBHL in NISSNHL. In the case of acute otitis media, 3PTAmax (59.7 dBHL ± 24.6 dBHL) was lower than in the case of varicella-zoster infection or Lyme disease (80.11 dBHL ± 34.19 dBHL; p = 0.015). Mean absolute hearing gain (Δ3PTAmaxabs) was 8.1 dB ± 18.8 dB in patients with ISSNHL, and not different in NISSNHL patients with 10.2 dB ± 17.6 dB. A Δ3PTAmaxabs ≥ 10 dB was reached in 34.3% of the patients with ISSNHL and to a significantly higher rate of 48.8% in NISSNHL patients (p = 0.011).ConclusionsISSNHL and NISSNHL show no relevant baseline differences. ISSNHL tends to have a higher initial hearing loss. NISSHNL shows a better outcome than ISSNHL.

Project description:ImportancePatients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) often experience permanent hearing impairment, which could result in psychological perturbations. However, the relationship between ISSNHL and affective disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, has not been fully evaluated.ObjectiveTo investigate the potential relationship between ISSNHL and affective disorders using nationwide representative cohort sample data.Design, setting, and participantsThis study used a nationwide propensity score-matched cohort sample from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from 2002 through 2013, which comprises data from approximately 1 million patients. The study included 1425 patients with ISSNHL and 7125 individuals without ISSNHL who were matched using propensity score matching, according to sociodemographic factors and enrollment year.Main outcomes and measuresSurvival analysis, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the incidence, survival rate, and hazard ratio (HR) of developing affective disorders (anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder) for each group.ResultsOf the total study population of 8550 (51.5% female), 961 developed affective disorders during the 11-year follow-up: 225 in the ISSNHL group (15.8%) and 736 in the comparison group (10.3%). We examined a total of 96 885.5 person-years (81 177.4 person-years in the comparison group and 15 708.1 person-years in the ISSNHL group). The incidence of affective disorders was 14.3 per 1000 person-years in the ISSNHL group and 9.1 per 1000 person-years in the comparison group. After adjustment for other factors, individuals with ISSNHL developed affective disorders more frequently than those in the comparison group (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.30-1.75). Among the affective disorders, the HR of developing depression (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.44-1.91) and anxiety disorder (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.56-2.05) but not bipolar disorder (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.54-1.70), was significantly greater in patients with ISSNHL.Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study suggests that ISSNHL is associated with an increased incidence of affective disorders, specifically depression and anxiety. Therefore, these findings suggest that clinicians should monitor patients with ISSNHL carefully, and take specific precautions to reduce their risk of depression and anxiety disorder.
