Abstract:
The result of determination of some risk factors of hearing loss, deafness in neonates and infants:Background: Newborns born prematurely or with high risk for hearing loss are 10 times more likely to develop hearing loss than well babies. Also, 1 out of 50 newborns hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit are at risk of hearing loss. The risk factors of hearing loss and deafness in children was first developed and tracked by Joint Committee on Infant Hearing in 1972, and has been further refined and updated since then. The last update was made in 2007 and used worldwide. The risk factors of hearing loss for children vary by age.
Materials and methods: A case-control study was performed to identify some risk factors for the development of hearing loss and deafness in neonates and infants. The research case group included all the cases in which the diagnosis of congenital hearing loss or deafness was confirmed by the auditory brainstem response test (ABR) in the 3 stages of the study or the stage of diagnosis confirmation, while the control group included infants whose diagnosis was not confirmed and normal hearing was confirmed by the auditory brainstem response test (ABR). The study groups were selected in 1:1 ratio.
Results: The perinatal disorders (OR 7.67; 95% CI; 3.61-16.34; p=<0.0001), genetic predisposition (OR 8.45; 95% CI; 1.04-68.46; p=0.045), PCOS (OR 2.85; 95% CI; 1.27-6.41; p=0.011), premature birth (OR 3.90; 95% CI; 1.27-6.41; p=<0.0001), hearing of children with congenital malformations (OR 16.55; 95% CI; 2.15-127.01; p=0.007) reduction and deafness are statistically significant.
Conclusion: The perinatal disorders (OR 5.31), genetic factors (OR 10.01), congenital malformations (OR 2.65), ear disorders (OR 8.94), and premature birth (OR 2.57) are statistically significant factors in the development of hearing loss and deafness in neonates and infants.
