Abstract
Objectives: The first purpose of this study was to ascertain the distribution of unilateral Ménière's disease (MD) clinical subgroups in China and compare with the population reported in Europe and the United States. The second purpose was to investigate the effectiveness in different clinical phenotypes.
Methods: Participants were categorised into one of five subtypes using a previously reported classification scheme based on cluster analysis. The distribution and clinical characteristics were analysed and compared with the two cohorts reported in Europe and the United States. Participants were followed up to observe the therapeutic effectiveness over a 2-year period.
Results: A total of 245 patients diagnosed with UMD were enrolled in the study, with 84 of these participants providing complete and detailed follow-up data. All of the unilateral MD patients were accurately classified: 58.0% were classic MD, 25.7% were delayed MD, 1.2% was familial MD, 12.7% were sporadic MD with migraine and 2.4% were autoimmune MD. Our findings revealed a significant difference in the distribution between this cohort and the European cohort. Follow-up assessments revealed worse vertigo control rate in the patients with migraine compared to the classical MD (50.0% vs. 82.6%, p = 0.034).
Conclusion: The distribution of unilateral MD subtypes in this Chinese population differs from that in the European population, and the therapeutic effectiveness varies across subtypes in this cohort. Our study highlights the importance of the clinical heterogeneity in unilateral MD, and further studies are needed to identify the optimal interventions for specific subgroups.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
