Abstract

Purpose : Early detection and intervention of hearing impairment is believed to improve speech and language development and behavior of children. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine the prevalence of hearing impairments, and to identify the association of risk factors relating to refer response in high risk neonates who were screened using distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE). Methods : The subjects included 871 neonates who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Pediatric Department in Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital from May, 2001 to December, 2004. They were screened using DPOAE. Based on DPOAE, we divided the neonates in two groups : 'Pass' and 'Refer'. The differences in risk factors between the pass group and the refer group were analyzed. Results : The incidence of the refer group was 12.1 percent(106 out of 871). The bilateral refer rate was 5.4 percent(47 out of 871). And the unilateral refer rate was 6.7 percent(59 out of 871). Gender, birth place, family history of hearing loss, small/large for gestational age, obstetrical factor, hyperbilirubinemia and use of gentamicin were not statistically related to the refer rate. Statistically related to refer rate were birth weight, resuscitated neonates, Apgar score, craniofacial anomaly, mechanical ventilator application, sepsis, using of vancomycin(P<0.05). The prevalence of hearing impairment (${\geq}60dB$) in this study was 2 percent(18 out of 871). Conclusion : This study showed a higher prevalence of hearing impairment in high-risk neonates. Thus neonatal hearing screening should be carried out in high-risk neonates.

목 적 : 신생아 난청은 신생아 1,000명당 1-3명에서 발생하며 조기에 발견하여 중재하지 않으면 유소아의 언어 습득과 발달 지연에 영향을 미친다. 저자들은 신생아 고위험군을 대상으로 청각 선별검사로서 DPOAE를 이용하여 난청의 유병률과 위험 인자와의 관련성에 대해 조사하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 5월부터 2004년 12월까지 순천향대학교 부천 병원 신생아 집중치료실에 입원하여 청각 선별검사로 변조 이음향방사를 시행받은 871명을 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 변조 이음향방사에서 통과된 경우 Pass 군으로, 통과되지 못한 경우를 Refer 군으로 나누어 출생 체중, 재태 기간, 산모의 위험 인자, 가족력, 인공호흡기 사용, 빌리루빈 수치, 이독성 약물의 사용 등 청각에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해 연구하였다. 결 과 : 총 871명 중 106명(12.1%)이 Refer 군으로 우측 이상이 36명(4.1%), 좌측 이상이 23명(2.6%), 양측 이상이 47명(5.4%)이었다. Refer군 106명 중 20명(18.9%)이 3개월 후 변조 이음향방사를 재시행 하였으며 40명(37.7%)에서 ABR를 시행하였다. 총 871명 중 Pass 군과 Refer 군 사이에 성별, 출생 장소(본원 및 외부병원), 청각장애의 가족력, 재태 연령에 따른 출생 체중(부당 경량아, 부당 중량아, 적정 체중아), 산모의 위험 인자(임신성 고혈압, 임신성 당뇨, 조기 양막 파수), 빌리루빈 수치 및 gentamicin 사용 등의 인자와는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 총 871명 중 Pass 군과 Refer 군 사이에 출생 체중 1,500 g 미만, 재태 연령 37주 이하, 심폐 소생술 시행, 낮은 Apgar 점수(1분에 5점 이하, 5분에 6점 이하), 두경부 이상(구개순, 구개열, 이개 앞 피부 돌출), 인공호흡기 사용, 패혈증, vancomycin 사용 등의 인자에서 유의한 차이(P<0.05)를 보였다. 결 론 : 60 dB 이상의 난청이 18명(2%)에서 관찰되었으며 이는 전체 신생아 유병률(1-3명/1,000명)보다 높은 수치이다. 그러므로 신생아 집중치료실 입원 환자에게는 청각 선별검사를 반드시 시행하여야 하며 변조 이음향방사가 선별검사의 방법으로 이용될 수 있다. 또한 이번 연구를 기초로 하여 전체 신생아를 대상으로 한 신생아 청각 선별검사의 보편화 할 것을 추천하며 이상이 있는 경우 더욱 적극적인 추적 관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
