Five years of universal newborn hearing screening: an incidence study

Introduction: Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) is an essential tool for early diagnosis and prognosis of hearing loss. The aims of this study were to estimate the incidence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in the Baixo Vouga region, to evaluate the importance of first-degree parental consanguinity (FDPC) as a risk factor for hearing loss in the UNHS program of Centro Hospitalar do Baixo Vouga (CHB...

Parental consanguinity might be an indicator to consider in the diagnosis of these cases. The aim of this study was to assess its importance as a risk factor for childhood hearing loss.Material and Methods: A retrospect...
