Establishment of quantitative evaluation system for cochlear implant effectiveness for hearing-impaired children
Introduction
Cochlear implant is currently the most widely proven interventions for auditory rehabilitation for children with severe sensorineural hearing impairment. However, there are obvious limitations in these current evaluation methods. This study aims to develop an evaluation system for quantitatively evaluating the effectiveness of cochlear implants for hearing-impaired children.
Methods
A correspondence questionnaire was developed based on an initial indicator system that was developed based on the literature focused on the evaluation of cochlear implant outcomes in children. Twenty-five experts in otology, clinical audiology, rehabilitation audiology, and mental health from nine provinces in China were consulted. The degree of authority and coordination of experts and the indicators and weights of the quantitative evaluation system were analyzed. Seventy-eight children aged 3–11 years after cochlear implantation were recruited from two centers in Hubei province to evaluate the reliability and validity of the quantitative evaluation system.
Results
The opinions of experts converged after the second round of correspondence, and the coordination and authority of the expert consensus were met. The recall rate of the questionnaire was 100% for both rounds. Five secondary indicators, including auditory ability, verbal ability, behavioral assessment, learning capabilities, and quality of life, and 13 tertiary indicators were reserved for the evaluation of cochlear implant effectiveness. The weight of each indicator was calculated. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the quantitative evaluation system based on the standardized items was 0.930, and the three extracted common factors could explain 78.86% of the total variance.
Conclusions
An expert consensus-based evaluation system that can quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear implants in children has been developed with good reliability and validity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Otology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research findings from disciplines related to both clinical and basic science aspects of auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal welcomes submissions describing original experimental research that may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying problems of basic or clinical significance and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines. Journal of Otology welcomes contributions from scholars in all countries and regions across the world.
