Association between hypertension and hearing loss: a systemic review and meta-analysis by Xiaohua Jin, Xiaohua Jin, Xianpeng Xu, Xianpeng Xu, Jingjing Wang, Jingjing Wang, Xinghong Liu, Xinghong Liu, Xinxing Deng, Xinxing Deng, Hui Xie, Hui Xie

“…Heterogeneity in this analysis was high (I2 = 98%, p &lt; 0.1), and by sensitivity analysis we found that the heterogeneity may have originated from 3 studies, the removal of which significantly reduced the heterogeneity and had a small effect on the effect size [OR (95%CI): 1.893 (1.834, 1.953), I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.465].ConclusionHypertension may be one of the risk factors for hearing loss. Identification of hypertension can help in early assessment and management of hearing loss risk.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42023460001.…”
