Association Between Expanded Genomic Sequencing Combined With Hearing Screening and Detection of Hearing Loss Among Newborns in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Abstract: Key Points Question Is expanded genomic sequencing combined with hearing screening associated with the detection of hearing loss and the improvement in the clinical management of patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)? Findings In this cohort study that included 8078 patients in the NICU, expanded genomic sequencing was associated with a 15.6% increase in cases of diagnosed hearing loss that were missed by hearing screening and changed the clin… Show more

“…However, such an approach is still challenging for population-based screening because it is relatively expensive, has an extended turnaround time spanning several weeks, and is associated with a significant burden of variant interpretation. Although these limitations were not addressed by Zhu et al, 1 their work implies that targeted genetic screening-using population-specific common pathogenic variants-combined with physiological and cytomegalovirus testing may be an effective newborn screening strategy for hearing loss, in critically ill neonates and beyond. This combinatory approach has the additional benefit of identifying mild and later-onset hearing loss and providing valuable genetic information that is often missed by traditional NHBS.…”

“…3 Thus, the PPV was 15.6% (5934 of 38 127 babies). With the use of the combined screening approach by Zhu et al, 1 the referral rate for those who had positive NBHS test results and/or positive genetic findings was 3.3% (265 of 8078). Of these babies, 240 were followed up, of whom 0.6% (52 of 8078) had confirmed hearing loss.…”
