A study found that individuals with a history of upper respiratory infections (URI) have an increased risk of developing Meniere disease (MD). Using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, researchers discovered that the likelihood of developing MD was 2.01 times higher for individuals with a URI within one year of the index date and 1.54 times higher for those with URIs within two years. The risk for MD was also significantly increased with remote URIs occurring up to two years before the index date. Long-term patient follow-up is emphasized due to the lasting impact of URIs on the risk of developing MD.
