Retrospective Evaluation of Results of Newborn Hearing Screening and Importance of Patient Record System
Abstract
Objective
The aim of the present study was to
evaluate hearing screening results of 3490 newborns who underwent newborn
hearing screening between 2015-2017 in Cumhuriyet University Faculty of
Medicine Department of Otolaryngology, to asses deficiencies of our record system,
and to share our retrospective results by comparing with the results in the
literature.
Material and Method
Hearing screening results of infants who were born in Cumhuriyet
University between March 2015 and February 2017, were referred to neonatal
intensive care or transferred from other out-of-town or inner city hospitals to
our university was retrospectively evaluated in the present study.
Results
There was a statistically significant difference for the left ear TEOAE
test results and gender (p<0.05, p=0.016, x2=5.78). And also
summarizes the distribution of ABR test results in terms of gender while
failure rate was statistically significant in the right ear in terms of gender
(p<0.05, p=0.022, x2=1.33).
Conclusion
When results of the present study were evaluated, it was found that while
they were similar to some results in the studies on this issue in the
literature, they showed great differences than some of them. Our main goal was
to evaluate insufficiencies in record systems of both our hospital and external
centers while we were planning the present study. Our results revealed that
these records were not paid enough attentions at external centers and our
record system had some insufficiencies.
