背景:虽然文献中已经描述了几种疾病的性别差异,在听觉亢进领域的研究仍然很少。尽管高音是一种严重影响患者生活质量的疾病,它没有得到很好的调查;全面了解它的特点,最终包括性别差异,可能是制定临床干预策略的宝贵资产。
目的:评估受运动过度影响的受试者之间的性别差异。
方法:进行了文献检索,重点是表现为高音的成年患者,使用MedLine书目数据库。相关的同行评审研究,在过去的20年里,被寻求。总共确定了259篇论文,但只有4人符合纳入标准。审查是根据系统审查和荟萃分析(PRISMA)指南的首选报告项目进行的。
结果:选择的四篇论文包括来自604名患者的数据;其中,282名受试者受到运动过度的影响(125名女性和157名男性)。用于分析影响注意力的因素的问卷调查,过度活跃的社会和情绪变化(如VAS,THI,TSCH,对所有纳入的受试者施用MASH)。数据表明,在评估的人群样本中没有运动过度的性别差异。
结论:文献数据表明,男性和女性表现出相似的运动过度。然而,鉴于这种情况的主观性质,在不久的将来,最终建立进一步的测试来评估高音特征可能会很有帮助。
BACKGROUND: While gender differences of several diseases have been already described in the literature, studies in the area of
hyperacusis are still scant. Despite the fact that
hyperacusis is a condition that severely affects the patient\'s quality of life, it is not well investigated; a comprehensive understanding of its features, eventually including gender differences, could be a valuable asset in developing clinical intervention strategies.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate gender differences among subjects affected by
hyperacusis.
METHODS: A literature search was conducted focused on adult patients presenting
hyperacusis, using the MedLine bibliographic database. Relevant peer-reviewed studies, published in the last 20 years, were sought. A total of 259 papers have been identified, but only 4 met the inclusion criteria. The
review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
RESULTS: The four selected papers included data from 604 patients; of these, 282 subjects resulted as affected by hyperacusis (125 females and 157 males). Questionnaires for analyzing factors affecting the attentional, social and emotional variance of hyperacusis (such as VAS, THI, TSCH, MASH) were administered to all included subjects. The data suggest that there are no hyperacusis gender-specific differences in the assessed population samples.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature data suggest that males and females exhibit a similar level of hyperacusis. However, in light of the subjective nature of this condition, the eventual set up of further tests to assess hyperacusis features could be very helpful in the near future.
