摘要

在低收入和中等收入国家,先天性和早发性听力损失占全球永久性儿童听力损失病例的大多数。通过新生儿听力筛查项目进行早期发现是及时干预的关键。然而,由于系统性挑战,此类规划在低收入和中等收入国家很少得到实施。目的:主要目标是评估在乌干达建立一个全面的、质量控制的新生儿听力筛查(NHS)项目的可行性,该项目遵循与那些拥有完善NHS系统的国家相当的标准。方法:这项横断面、多中心研究评估了乌干达五家公立医院质量控制的新生儿听力筛查项目的表现。该研究使用了瞬态诱发耳声发射和自动听觉脑干反应的联合筛选方法。数据分析采用Microsoft Excel软件。结果:本研究分析了12996名新生儿的数据。研究结果显示,五家参与医院的新生儿听力筛查覆盖率和转诊率分别从4.9%到23.2%和1.2%到42.6%不等。值得注意的是,随访率的损失在各医院之间表现出显著的差异,从12.5%到90.7%不等。三名儿童(0.23‰)被诊断为先天性听力损失。结论:本研究证明了在乌干达实施质量控制的新生儿听力筛查计划的可行性和必要性。解决与覆盖率、转诊率和失踪率相关的挑战对于先天性听力损失的早期发现和有效管理非常重要。

Quality controlled neonatal hearing screening in children 0-3 months at post natal wards in Uganda: A multi-center study.

Introduction: Congenital and early-onset hearing loss in low- and middle-income countries constitutes the majority of global cases of permanent childhood hearing loss. Early detection through neonatal hearing screening programs is pivotal for timely intervention. However, such programs are infrequently implemented in low- and middle-income countries due to systemic challenges.

Objective: The primary goal was to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a comprehensive, quality-controlled newborn hearing screening (NHS) program in Uganda, following standards comparable to those in countries with well-established NHS systems.

Methods: This cross-sectional, multi-center study evaluated the performance of a quality-controlled neonatal hearing screening program in five public hospitals in Uganda. The study used a combined screening approach of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions and Automated Auditory Brainstem Responses. Data analyses were made by Microsoft Excel.

Results: This study analyzed data from 12,996 newborns. The findings revealed that newborn hearing screening coverage rates and referral rates across the five participating hospitals varied from 4.9 % to 23.2 % and 1.2 %-42.6 %, respectively. Notably, the loss to follow-up rates exhibited significant variation, spanning from 12.5 % to 90.7 % among the hospitals. Three children (0.23 per thousand) were identified with congenital hearing loss.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated both the feasibility and the necessity of implementing a quality controlled newborn hearing screening program in Uganda. Addressing challenges related to coverage rates, referral rates, and loss to follow-up rates is important in early detection and effective management of congenital hearing loss.

期刊介绍: The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
