Prognostic Factors Associated With Recovery in Children With Bell's Palsy.

Published in: Journal of child neurology (2019)

The prognosis of Bell's palsy in children was very good. The prognostic factors affecting the early recovery were being House-Brackmann Facial Nerve Grading System grade 2 or 3 on the 10th day and receiving steroid treatment in the first 24 hours. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution width were not found to be predictive factors for early recovery.
