Serum Fibrinogen as a Prognostic Factor in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Meta-analysis

Conclusions: The average fibrinogen level was 318 ± 8.5 mg/dl (mean ± standard error, within normal range). There was no difference in the fibrinogen level between SSNHL patients and the control group. The fibrinogen level of the recovery group was lower than that of the no recovery group. This showed that a high fibrinogen level was associated with poor prognosis, and it could be related to the severity of the pathological change rather than being the cause of the SSNHL. SSNHL includes various pathologies; therefore, the appropriate therapy should be selected based on each condition. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)
