JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Mar 27, 2020

Yoo MC, Soh Y, Chon J, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers identified factors that were correlated with improved treatment outcomes in patients [n = 1,364; [mean (SD) age of 47.7 (16.7) years] with Bell palsy. Participants in the study were patients treated at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Kyung Hee University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea, between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2017. Multivariable analysis showed that the following factors were linked to favorable outcome: age younger than 40 years, an initial H-B grade of III or IV, good electromyography results after 2 weeks of treatment, absence of diabetes, and control of hypertension. In patients with Bell palsy, multiple clinical factors can be related to a favorable outcome.
