AIM: Cesarean delivery (CD) was associated with a 3.2-fold higher failure on 1(st) otoacoustic emissions (OAE) hearing test. We aimed to verify whether postponing 1(st) OAE beyond 48 hours in CD infants decreases hearing screening failure. METHODS: We compared two groups of CD infants as to failure on 1(st) OAE test: early-1(st) OAE (n=560): 1(st) OAE at 12-48 hours-old, and, late-1(st) OAE (n=566): 1(st) OAE at 48-132 hours-old. RESULTS: Compared to early-1(st) OAE-group, the failure rate among late-1(st) OAE infants was significantly six-fold lower (20.5% vs. 3.4%), with six-fold lower need for repeated tests: 205 vs. 34 tests/1,000 CD neonates (p<0.001). The failure rate decreased with increasing age in both groups (p<0.001). Univariate analysis: timing of 1(st) OAE (late vs. early) was significantly associated with failure on 1(st) OAE. Multivariable analysis: late (48-132 hrs) 1(st) OAE test was associated with a 7.7-fold lower risk for failure of 1(st) OAE, OR (95% CI): 0.13 (0.08-0.21). CONCLUSION: Among CD infants, the risk for failure in late-1(st) OAE-group (>48 hrs) was 7.7-fold-lower, with a six-fold-lower need for repeated hearing tests. Delaying 1(st) OAE in CD infants beyond 48-hours-of-age (preferably between 48 and 132 hrs) decreases neonatal OAE screening failure. ©2013 The Author(s)/Acta Paediatrica ©2013 Foundation Acta Paediatrica. |
