Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to review the impact of bone conduction hearing implants (BCHIs) surgery on patients' quality of life (QoL) across general, physical, social and overall well-being domains.

Design: A prospective correlational study.

Setting: Single tertiary referral center in the UK.

Participants: All adult patients undergoing their first BCHI over a 10-year and 6-month period (between June 1, 2012, and December 31, 2022). A total of 163 were included out of 195 potentially eligible participants.

Main outcome measure: The Glasgow Health Status Inventory (GHSI) was used to assess patients' QoL pre and post BCHI surgery.

Results: BCHI surgery showed significant improvements across all GHSI QoL domains; total (p<0.0001), general (p<0.0001), social (p<0.0001) and physical (p<0.0001).

Conclusion: The largest of its kind, this study recognizes the wide-reaching impact of BCHIs on patients' QoL, evidencing them as a highly effective and life-improving surgical intervention.

骨传导助听器；改变人生的手术。一项生活质量（QoL）研究报告了BCHI手术对163例患者健康的影响。

目的：本研究旨在回顾骨传导听力植入（BCHIs）手术对患者生活质量（QoL）在一般，身体，社会和整体幸福感方面的影响。设计：前瞻性相关研究。设置：单一三级转诊中心在英国。参与者：所有在10年零6个月期间（2012年6月1日至2022年12月31日）接受首次BCHI的成年患者。在195名可能符合条件的参与者中，共有163人入选。主要结局指标：采用格拉斯哥健康状况量表（GHSI）评估BCHI手术前后患者的生活质量。结果：BCHI手术在所有GHSI生活质量领域均有显著改善；结论：该研究是同类研究中规模最大的，该研究认识到BCHIs对患者生活质量的广泛影响，证明其是一种高效且改善生活的手术干预措施。
