| Abstract |
Universal newborn hearing screening programs use a variety of technologies to accomplish their goals. Ensuring accurate results is important to minimize stress to families and decrease unnecessary referrals. This study reviews a cohort of 149 newborns who passed automated auditory brainstem response and also had distortion product otoacoustic emissions measured. The results show that the distortion product otoacoustic emission pass rates are lower at low frequencies and that test results could be improved by eliminating frequencies below 2.0 kHz. This study shows the need for screening programs to assess their pass protocols in terms of the number of frequencies and signal-to-noise ratio pass criteria. An important goal of universal newborn hearing screening is to attain acceptable sensitivity and specificity results. These results offer information regarding how to minimize false positives thereby increasing the specificity of test results. Les programmes de dépistage universel de la surdité chez les nouveau-nés utilisent différentes techniques. Il est important d'obtenir des résultats exacts pour minimiser les soucis occasionnés aux familles et faire diminuer le nombre d'enfants référes à des spécialistes. La présente étude passe en revue un groupe de 149 nouveau-nés qui ont subi le test automatisé des potentiels évoqués auditifs et chez qui on a aussi mesuré les oto-émissions acoustiques par proguits de distorsions. Les résultats indiquent que les taux de < |
