Predictors of computed tomography imaging in patients presenting with sudden hearing loss
Objective
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a rare presentation requiring timely diagnosis and treatment. Despite recommendations against obtaining computed tomography (CT) imaging of the head in clinical practice guidelines, this investigation is often completed in patients with sudden hearing loss. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of patients undergoing CT imaging of the head for SSNHL at our center and identify predictive factors for the use of CT imaging.
Methods
Retrospective chart review of adult patients referred for SSNHL to two academic otology/neurotology practices between January 2018 and May 2021. Patient demographics, comorbid medical conditions, associated symptoms, location of initial presentation, audiologic results, and completed imaging studies were collected. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software.
Results
Ninety-eight patients with audiologically confirmed SSNHL were included. Twenty-two patients (22.4%) underwent CT imaging as an investigation for SSNHL. The presence of vertigo (odds ratio 6.90; 95% confidence interval 2.43, 19.56) and presentation to the emergency room (odds ratio 8.71; 95% confidence interval 3.02, 25.16) were significantly associated with undergoing CT imaging. These two variables were statistically significant independent predictors of CT imaging on multivariate regression analysis (p = .01, p = .001, respectively).
Conclusion
A significant proportion of patients with SSNHL undergo low-yield CT imaging of the head, particularly patients presenting to the emergency room with vertigo. These results highlight an opportunity for focused education and quality improvement initiatives.
