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.
