Fig 1
Cumulative complete hearing recovery rate according to body mass index (BMI).
Cumulative complete recovery rate between subjects with body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than grade III, and those with BMI less than grade II. The hazard ratio of poor response with patients with BMI equal or higher than grade III was 1.606 (95% confidence interval: 1.03–2.50).
