Abstract

Objective: To examine the association between statin use and the risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), focusing on statin type, dosage, and treatment duration.

Study design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.

Methods: We analyzed T2D patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2019, stratified into statin users and nonusers of lipid-lowering therapy. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline characteristics. Multivariable Cox regression, adjusted for competing risks, assessed the association between statin use and SSNHL risk, as well as all-cause mortality. Statin exposure was analyzed based on cumulative and daily doses.

Results: The study cohort included 66,120 statin users and 66,120 nonusers. Statin use was associated with a significantly lower SSNHL risk (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.83; 95% CI, 0.74-0.92; P = .0008) and reduced all-cause mortality (aHR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.52-0.57; P < .0001). A dose-response relationship was observed, with higher cumulative defined daily doses (cDDDs) linked to progressively lower SSNHL risk. Hydrophilic statins, particularly rosuvastatin, showed stronger protective effects compared to lipophilic statins.

Conclusion: Statin use in T2D patients is associated with reduced SSNHL risk and all-cause mortality, with dose-dependent effects. These findings suggest the potential otoprotective benefits of statins and emphasize the importance of personalized therapy for managing both hearing and cardiovascular health in this high-risk population.

2型糖尿病患者使用他汀类药物可降低突发性感音神经性听力损失的风险。
目的探讨他汀类药物的使用与2型糖尿病(T2D)患者突发性感音神经性听力损失(SSNHL)风险之间的关系,重点关注他汀类药物的类型、剂量和治疗持续时间:研究设计:回顾性队列研究:研究设计:回顾性队列研究:我们分析了 2008 年至 2019 年期间确诊的 T2D 患者,并将其分为他汀类药物使用者和未使用降脂疗法者。采用倾向评分匹配法平衡基线特征。经竞争风险调整的多变量 Cox 回归评估了他汀类药物的使用与 SSNHL 风险以及全因死亡率之间的关系。他汀类药物暴露根据累积剂量和日剂量进行分析:研究队列包括66120名他汀类药物使用者和66120名非使用者。使用他汀类药物可显著降低 SSNHL 风险(调整后危险比 [aHR],0.83;95% CI,0.74-0.92;P = .0008),并降低全因死亡率(aHR,0.55;95% CI,0.52-0.57;P 结论:他汀类药物可显著降低 SSNHL 风险,并降低全因死亡率:T2D患者服用他汀类药物与降低SSNHL风险和全因死亡率有关,其效果与剂量相关。这些研究结果表明,他汀类药物具有潜在的耳保护作用,并强调了个性化治疗对管理高危人群听力和心血管健康的重要性。
