Abstract: Objective To analyze methylprednisolone and dexamethasone treatment the curative effect of sudden deafness by Meta analysis. Methods The retrieval of database was performed including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane database, which were from Chinese and English database. The retrieval keywords including methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, and sudden deafness and the quality evaluation was used to follow the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).Using the RevMan5.3 software for Meta analysis, the risk ratio (RR) value indicators and 95% CI as the study effects, the test of heterogeneity indexed choosing I2 and P value. Then sensitivity of the inspection and subgroup analyses were done, Egger's test were used to evaluate the publication bias.If the study indicated publication bias, using trim and filling method would be used to make an evaluation. Result By comparison of the two groups for the treatment of curative effect of sudden deafness, Z=4.91(P<0.000 1), RR(95% CI):1.20(1.12-1.29), the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05).Subgroup analysis in systemic medication group Z=5.23(P<0.000 01), RR(95% CI):1.28(1.17-1.41), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Local drug group Z=5.99(P<0.000 01), RR(95% CI):1.30(1.19-1.42), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Sensitivity analysis:Z=6.83(P<0.000 01), RR(95% CI):1.19(1.13-1.26), the difference was statistically significant too(P<0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of methylprednisolone for the treatment of sudden deafness is better than the dexamethasone for the treatment of sudden deafness.
