Significant differences were observed in the 5-year OS rates between patients with single and multiple CN palsy (69.8% vs. 54.3%; P\u2009=\u20090.033) and the OS rates between patients with different pretreatment durations (68.7% vs. 43.3%, P\u2009=\u20090.007). However, no significant differences were observed in OS, DSS, LRFS and DFS rates between patients with upper and lower CN palsy (P\u2009=\u20090.581, P\u2009=\u20090.792, P\u2009=\u20090.729 and P\u2009=\u20090.212, respectively). The results showed that recovery duration was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR\u2009=\u20092.485; P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), DSS (HR\u2009=\u20092.065; P\u2009=\u20090.016), LRFS (HR\u2009=\u20093.051; P\u2009=\u20090.001) and DFS (HR\u2009=\u20092.440; P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Recovery duration is an independent prognostic factor for NPC patients with CN palsy and is related to recurrence, which leads to poor survival.
