Abstract

Introduction: Several studies have reported that the number of patients with Bell's palsy varied significantly by month and season. However, few studies have reported the monthly variation in Bell's palsy based on the whole population. We investigated the monthly variation in Bell's palsy in Korea during a long-term period based on whole population data.

Methods: This retrospective study used the data of the National Health Insurance Service of Korea, which included the entire Korean population from 2008 to 2020. The monthly incidence of Bell's palsy per 100,000 was evaluated in total and according to sex, age, and residence.

Results: The total average monthly incidence differed significantly by month, with the highest observed in January (9.1 per 100,000) and the lowest in June (7.7 per 100,000) (p < 0.001). The average monthly incidence according to sex, age, and residence also varied significantly by month, with most of the highest values noted in January and the lowest in June.

Conclusion: There was significant monthly variation in the incidence of Bell's palsy, with the highest in January during the winter and the lowest in June during the summer, based on whole population data over a long-term period in Korea.

基于韩国人口数据的贝尔氏麻痹症月度变化。

前言有几项研究报告称，不同月份和季节的贝尔麻痹患者人数差异很大。然而，很少有研究报道贝尔氏麻痹症在整个人口中的月度变化。我们根据全人口数据调查了韩国贝尔氏麻痹症在长期内的月度变化情况：这项回顾性研究使用了韩国国民健康保险服务局的数据，其中包括 2008 年至 2020 年的韩国全体人口。评估了每十万人中贝尔氏麻痹的月总发病率，并根据性别、年龄和居住地进行了分类：不同月份的月平均总发病率差异显著，1 月份最高（每 10 万人中有 9.1 例），6 月份最低（每 10 万人中有 7.7 例）（p < 0.001）。按性别、年龄和居住地划分的月平均发病率在不同月份也有显著差异，最高值出现在 1 月份，最低值出现在 6 月份：结论：根据韩国长期的全人口数据，贝尔氏麻痹的发病率存在明显的月度差异，冬季的一月最高，夏季的六月最低。

期刊介绍： ''Audiology and Neurotology'' provides a forum for the publication of the most-advanced and rigorous scientific research related to the basic science and clinical aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal seeks submission of cutting edge research opening up new and innovative fields of study that may improve our understanding and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems, their central connections and their perception in the central nervous system. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines.
