ABR profile in children with congenital rubella syndrome at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital

Abstract

Background: Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) refer to a condition of variable birth defects, such as hearing impairment, congenital heart defects, cataract or congenital glaucoma, and others. In Indonesia, the incidence rate of rubella infection in 2015 was 3.2 per 100.000 live birth and increasing to 5.6 per 100.000 live birth in 2017. Rubella vaccination can decrease the incidence of CRS, however it has not been implemented in many developing country. Hearing impairment is the most common clinical manifestation among CRS cases. Purpose: This study was performed to know the hearing profile on CRS from January until December 2018, at Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study design was conducted. Data was obtained from medical records and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) results, between January until December 2018, at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. Results: There were 60 CRS patients, 53 of them (88%) had hearing loss. Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) in 27 patients (45%), severe SNHL in 18 patients (30%), 3 of them were unilateral, moderate unilateral SNHL in 3 patients (5%), mild SNHL in 5 patients (8%) consisted of 2 unilateral SNHL and 3 bilateral SNHL. Normal hearing in 7 patients (12%). Conclusion: Eighty eight percent of CRS patients had hearing loss, 75% with bilateral SNHL. Follow-up and management for these patients required multidisciplinary approach such as paediatrics, ophthalmologic, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and parental support. Latar belakang: Sindrom Rubella Kongenital (SRK) mengacu pada berbagai kondisi cacat lahir, seperti gangguan pendengaran, cacat jantung kongenital, katarak atau glaukoma kongenital, dan lain-lain. Di Indonesia, tingkat kejadian infeksi rubella pada tahun 2015 adalah 3,2 per 100,000 kelahiran hidup dan meningkat menjadi 5,6 per 100,000 kelahiran hidup pada tahun 2017. Vaksinasi rubella dapat mengurangi kejadian SRK, namun belum diterapkan di banyak negara berkembang. Gangguan pendengaran adalah manifestasi klinis paling umum di antara kasus SRK. Tujuan: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui profil pendengaran pada SRK, dari Januari sampai dengan Desember 2018, di Rumah Sakit Hasan Sadikin. Metode: Penelitian ini adalah deskriptif retrospektif. Data diperoleh dari rekam medis dan hasil Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) antara Januari hingga Desember 2018 di Rumah Sakit Umum Dr. Hasan Sadikin, Bandung. Hasil: Didapatkan 60 pasien SRK, 53 pasien (88%) mengalami gangguan pendengaran. Gangguan pendengaran sensorineural (GPSN) sangat berat terdapat pada 27 pasien (45%), GPSN berat pada 18 pasien (30%), 3 di antaranya adalah GPSN unilateral. GPSN unilateral sedang pada 3 pasien (5%), GPSN ringan pada 5 pasien (8%) terdiri dari 2 gangguan pendengaran unilateral dan 3 GPSN bilateral. Pendengaran normal pada 7 pasien (12%). Kesimpulan: Delapan puluh delapan persen pasien SRK mengalami gangguan pendengaran, 75% dengan GPSN bilateral. Tindak lanjut dan penatalaksanaan untuk pasien ini memerlukan pendekatan multidisiplin: spesialis THT, spesialis anak, spesialis mata, spesialis kedokteran fisik dan rehabilitasi, serta dukungan orang tua.

Diagnostic value of clinical manifestations of Group A and Group B compared with rubella serology results in congenital rubella syndrome

“…Thus, immunization is the best and most effective preventive measure to prevent CRS. 3,[13][14][15][16][17][18] In the study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of group A and group B clinical manifestations compared to rubella serology results in the diagnosis of CRS at Dr. Zainoel Abidin's Regional General Hospital (ZARGH), Banda Aceh. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for early diagnosis of CRS in children aged 0-12 months, especially in health facilities that lack the facilities to perform serological rubella examinations, such as ZARGH.…”

“…This syndrome can also appear in the form of other congenital disabilities. [1][2][3][4] Congenital rubella syndrome occurred in more than 105,000 infants worldwide in 2010. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 238,000 children are born with CRS before the vaccination's era and that there are 100,000 new cases yearly, especially in developing countries.…”

Auditory Brainstem Response profile in speech delay patients at Universitas Gadjah Mada Academic Hospital

“…The same results were also obtained by the study of Gunawan et al 5 which showed that most of the patients with speech delay with ASSR examination had abnormal examination results as profound hearing loss. Another research by Aditomo et al 7 , Wijana et al 8 and Purnami 9 showed that ABR result o n hearing loss cases were mostly profound. Result from those research consecutively were 44.07%, 45%, and 87.27%.…”
