Description
Xinyu Xu and co-authors sort tinnitus patients into mental health risk groups and build a prediction chart in a 2026 study. Ringing in the ears varies widely in its emotional burden, and tools for early risk sorting were lacking. The team enrolled 534 patients with subjective tinnitus and scored anxiety, depression, life events, and social support.
Profile analysis found four groups, led by a well adapted group at 43.82 percent of patients in the study. A severe anxiety isolated group, at 28.09 percent, was classed as the high distress target. Clinical traits were compared across groups, and a visual nomogram was built from independent predictors and checked with standard accuracy and calibration tests.
