Abstract
Objective: To assess outcomes of CI in adolescent patients with ANSD, a population which has not yet been comprehensively reviewed through a scoping review.
Methods: A scoping review in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane DSR, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, and Web of Science was performed. Cohort and case studies evaluating outcomes of CI in adolescents with ANSD were selected. A case report of an adolescent ANSD patient who underwent CI from our tertiary care academic hospital setting is also reported.
Results: Our search identified a total of 17 articles after screening 488 articles. Among the 24 patients isolated from the selected articles, the vast majority showed some level of improvement in their hearing ability (n = 21, 87.5%). Additionally, of the 20 individuals whose hearing outcomes had a comparison cohort of subjects under 10 years old, nearly half showed better or similar levels of hearing improvement (n = 9, 45%).
Conclusions: Adolescents with ANSD receiving CI have notable improvements in hearing outcomes, but to a lesser degree than younger cohorts with ANSD. As such, CI should be considered as a valid treatment option for adolescents with ANSD. However, the benefit of such intervention has a wide variability, presumably based on the different pathologies that can cause their hearing loss and not necessarily the age at implantation.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology publishes original manuscripts of clinical and research importance in otolaryngology–head and neck medicine and surgery, otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, head and neck oncology and surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, audiology, and speech pathology. In-depth studies (supplements), papers of historical interest, and reviews of computer software and applications in otolaryngology are also published, as well as imaging, pathology, and clinicopathology studies, book reviews, and letters to the editor. AOR is the official journal of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association.
