Biomarkers of Presbycusis and Tinnitus in a Portuguese Older Population
Haider, HF; Flook, M; Aparicio, M; Ribeiro, D; Antunes, M; Szczepek, AJ; Hoare, DJ; Fialho, G; Paço, JC; Caria, HIntroduction: Presbycusis or age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a ubiquitous health problem. It is estimated that it will affect up to 1.5 billion people by 2025. In addition, tinnitus occurs in a large majority of cases with presbycusis. Glutamate metabotropic receptor 7 (GRM7) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) are some of the genetic markers for presbycusis. Objectives: To explore patterns of hearing loss and ...
Systematic review of outcome domains and instruments used in clinical trials of...
Hall, DA; Haider, H; Szczepek, AJ; Lau, P; Rabau, S; Jones-Diette, J; Londero, A; Edvall, NK; Cederroth, CR; Mielczarek, M; Fuller, TBACKGROUND: There is no evidence-based guidance to facilitate design decisions for confirmatory trials or systematic reviews investigating treatment efficacy for adults with tinnitus. This systematic review therefore seeks to ascertain the current status of trial designs by identifying and evaluating the reporting of outcome domains and instruments in the treatment of adults with tinnitus. METHODS: Records were...
Toward a Global Consensus on Outcome Measures for Clinical Trials in Tinnitus: ...
Hall, DA; Haider, H; Kikidis, D; Mielczarek, M; Mazurek, B; Szczepek, AJ; Cederroth, CRIn Europe alone, over 70 million people experience tinnitus; for seven million people, it creates a debilitating condition. Despite its enormous socioeconomic relevance, progress in successfully treating the condition is somewhat limited. The European Union has approved funding to create a pan-European tinnitus research collaboration network (2014-2018). The goal of one working group is to establish an internat...
Current-reported outcome domains in studies of adults with a focus on the treat...
Hall, DA; Szczepek, AJ; Kennedy, V; Haider, HINTRODUCTION: In Europe alone, over 70 million people experience tinnitus. Despite its considerable socioeconomic relevance, progress in developing successful treatments has been limited. Clinical effectiveness is judged according to change in primary outcome measures, but because tinnitus is a subjective condition, the definition of outcomes is challenging and it remains unclear which distinct aspects of tinni...
