Retrospective study investigates complete recovery prediction in pediatric Bell's palsy, suggesting the ENoG threshold's importance.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate whether the 10% electroneurography threshold can effectively predict complete recovery in pediatric patients with Bell's palsy.
Retrospective study of 27 pediatric patients aged 0 to 12 years with Bell's palsy.
Patients underwent electroneurography (ENoG) within 3 weeks of symptom onset and received corticosteroid therapy.
Recovery profiles compared between high-ENoG (≥10%) and low-ENoG (<10%) groups over 12 months.
100% of patients achieved at least House-Brackmann grade II, with the high-ENoG group achieving 100% complete recovery within 3 months.
The low-ENoG group had a 50% complete recovery rate and longer recovery duration (P<0.001).
Cox regression analysis found ENoG ≥ 10% as the best predictor of complete recovery (hazard ratio: 9.61; 95% CI: 2.64-34.89; P<0.001).
