Overview of newborn hearing screening programs in Brazilian maternity hospitals
Abstract
Introduction: Newborn hearing screening has as its main objective the early identification of hearing loss in newborns and infants. In order to guarantee good results, quality indicators for newborn hearing screening programs are used as benchmarks.
Objective: To observe and describe the reality of national newborn hearing screening programs in Brazil, and to evaluate if they can be referred to as having quality indicators.
Methods: Integrative literature review in databases such as MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and Google.
Results: 22 articles were analyzed in relation to newborn hearing screening coverage, the place and period newborn hearing screening was performed, initial results, referral to diagnostic procedures, loss to follow-up, and occurrence of hearing loss.
Conclusion: Transient otoacoustic emissions were the most often used screening methodology. Coverage varied widely, and only a few maternity wards achieved 95% of the cases screened. Referral to diagnostic procedures was under 4%, but lack of adherence can be considered a barrier to successful follow-up. The occurrence of hearing loss ranged from 0% to 1.09%. The involvement of government, physicians, and society is necessary, so that the goals of newborn hearing screening can be achieved.
Introdução: a triagem auditiva neonatal (TAN) tem por finalidade a identificação, o mais precoce possível, da deficiência auditiva em neonatos e lactentes. Para garantir a eficácia e eficiência destes programas os índices de qualidade em relação à triagem, diagnóstico e intervenção servem como orientação e guia.
Objetivo: Conhecer e descrever a realidade nacional dos serviços de TAN no Brasil, e avaliar se os mesmos podem ser considerados como detentores de indicação de qualidade.
Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura em bases como Medline, Lilacs, Scielo e Google.
Resultados: No total, 22 artigos foram analisados para esta revisão, referente à cobertura da triagem auditiva neonatal, o local e período onde a TAN foi realizada, resultados iniciais, encaminhamentos para diagnóstico, taxa de abandono do programa e ocorrência de perda auditiva.
Conclusão: Emissões otoacústicas transientes foi o método de triagem mais utilizado. A cobertura da TAN variou muito e poucas maternidades atingiram a marca dos 95%. O encaminhamento para diagnóstico ficou abaixo dos 4%, porém a não adesão ao programa pode ser considerada uma barreira para o sucesso. A ocorrência de perda auditiva variou entre 0%–1.09%. É necessário um maior envolvimento dos políticos, equipes hospitalares e da sociedade para atingir os objetivos da TAN.
