Multicenter Study
High prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss among survivors of neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Western Canadian ECMO Follow-up Group.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in 2-5-year-old survivors with neonatal respiratory failure due to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with or without the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ⋯ Of children with CDH in this area presenting early with severe neonatal respiratory failure, SNHL developed in 60% by 2-5 years of life. Ongoing monitoring of the hearing status of children with CDH is imperative.
