Clinical data, facial grading, electrodiagnostics, motor function tests, non-motor function tests, and onset of prednisolone therapy were assessed for their impact on the probability of complete recovery using univariable and multivariable statistics.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The most frequent reason for a non-idiopathic peripheral FP was a reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV; 36.4%). Traumatic origin had a higher proportion of complete FP (52.9%). Furthermore, in traumatic FP, the mean interval between onset and start of prednisolone therapy was longer than in other cases (5.6\u2009\u00b1\u20096.2\u00a0days). Patients with reactivation of VZV, Lyme disease or otogenic FP had a significant higher recovery rate (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.018, respectively), whereas patients with post-surgery FP and other reasons had a significant lower recovery rate (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
