摘要
Purpose: This study aimed to compare a computerized tool to standard objective clinical scales for global and zone-specific assessment of facial nerve function. Methods: This was a retrospective review of 77 patients with facial paralysis who underwent facial videography. Videos were independently scored by 3 facial nerve specialists using the House-Brackmann Scales (HBI and HBII). Digital scoring was performed with Facogram software. Scores were recorded and compared using intraclass and Pearson (r) correlations. Results: Interobserver correlation was high with HBII, with overall scores in excellent agreement (intraclass correlation range, 0.78-0.95; P <= 0.0001). There were strong correlations between Facogram and HBII (r >= 0.67, P <= 0.0001) and strong intraobserver correlations between HBI and HBII (r >= 0.71, P <= 0.0001). The HBII required more clinician time [mean (SD), 72 (21) seconds per case], compared with Facogram, which did not require any clinician time. Conclusions: An automated, zone-specific facial analysis tool can eliminate clinician subjectivity and allow standardized assessment of facial paralysis.
