The article published in an OA journal is freely available on the public internet and permits any users to read, download, copy, distribute, and print. The OA articles are published much sooner and are believed to get more citations than the articles published in subscription-based journals. Since the end-user does not have to pay to read an OA article, the author usually pays Article Processing Charges (APCs) to get his/her work published in OA journals. High APCs of OA journals are usually a serious concern for medical researchers in India, which restricts them to publish in OA journals. Since most OA journals are new, they tend to have low impact factors as compared to subscription-based journals, which prevent many good researchers to get their work published in OA journals. Furthermore, predatory journals exploit the idea of OA and tend to publish poor or very low-quality research papers. This has resulted in distrust among the authors and readers that OA publishing is not peer-reviewed or has low quality. In conclusion, publishing in OA journals has both pros and cons. With the Government of India’s ambitious “One Nation, One Subscription” policy in the pipeline, medical researchers in India are hopeful that soon both access and publishing in scientific journals will be free for all in the country.","PeriodicalId":13277,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of medical sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74966883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there have been several studies reporting sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in these patients which affects their quality of life. The role of hemodialysis in its etiology has been widely debated and the strength of available evidence has not yet been evaluated. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify a possible association of hemodialysis to hearing loss and guide in making informed decisions in the management of CKD patients. Relevant articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO Medline, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Clinical Key were identified using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses framework. Studies that were published since the inception of the database to May 2020 and written in the English language were analyzed. A total of 36 articles on hemodialysis and sudden or SNHL were retrieved. Many were observational (13 cohorts, 10 case-control, seven case series, and six cross-sectional) studies involving 99,020 participants with ages ranging from 1 to 80 years. This review elucidates the occurrence of SNHL in CKD patients on hemodialysis. Yet, the available literature fails to provide conclusive evidence on hemodialysis as a causative agent for SNHL. Audiological assessment of all CKD patients before hemodialysis and regular follow-up may help in early diagnosis and better management of hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":13277,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of medical sciences","volume":"420 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75766751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
