“…Our study on the most common causes of hearing loss concurs with similar studies in literature. [8][9][10][11][12] Other causes included genetics, familial, jaundice, infections and unknown aetiologies. Among the candidates implanted one was a case of Waardenburg and the other incomplete partition of cochlear type 3 (IPT3) which suggested genetic mutations.…”

Introduction: Cochlear Implant is a small medical electronic device that is surgically inserted partially in the cochlear (inner ear) to restore some hearing in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. Cochlear implantation is considered a rehabilitative measure of choice that positively impacts on the quality of life of patients.Objective: The objective was to describe the clinico-demographic characteristics of cochlear implantees and the outcomes of the intervention among the implantees at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Tanzania.Method: This was a hospital based cross-sectional study which involved a total of 39 patients who underwent cochlear implantation from July 2017 to May 2021 at MNH. Clinico-demographic characteristics and outcomes of the intervention among the implantees were collected using structured questionnaires and data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 20. Results were then presented in frequency tables and figures.Results: This study recruited 39 patients with bilateral hearing loss with their ages ranging from 2 to 55 years. Their mean age was 4.7 years and median of 3 years. More than half, 24(61.5%) of implantees aged 2-3 years. Males predominated with male to female ratio of 1.2:1. Majority 37(94.9%) had pre lingual hearing loss and 36 (92.3 %) had bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Ototoxicity was the commonest cause of hearing loss among the implantees contributing 16(41%) followed by birth asphyxia, 8(20.5%). A total of 37(94.9%) of these patients were implanted with a single cochlear device due to the high cost associated with this type of intervention.Conclusion: Cochlear implantation in limited resource settings is possible and cost effective if there is enough support from the government and other charitable organisations. The availability of rehabilitative services remains key for better outcome after cochlear implantation.

“…Maternal, fetal, placental, and neonatal complications like hypo/hypertensive disorders, hypoxia induced by cardiopulmonary diseases, anemia, diabetes, persistent epilepsy, the placenta or umbilical cord accidents, congenital anomalies, chorioamnionitis, and infections are the main risk factors of asphyxia [1,4,5]. Despite several investigations reporting the prevalence of asphyxia in developed and developing countries [5,6,9,10], very few studies from Iran [11][12][13] have demonstrated the rate of neonatal asphyxia and its affecting factors. Hence, considering neonatal asphyxia as an important cause of mortality and morbidity, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of asphyxia, its consequences, and neonatal outcomes among Iranian term and late preterm live-born neonates.…”

Background: Despite several investigations reporting the prevalence of asphyxia in developed and developing countries, very few studies from Iran have demonstrated the rate of neonatal asphyxia and its affecting factors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of asphyxia, its consequences, and neonatal outcomes among Iranian term and late preterm live-born neonates. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in three hospitals; Vali-e-Asr, Yas, and Ziaean from April 2019 to March 2020. The case group included neonates with a history of perinatal asphyxia. Twice gestational age-matched subjects without such a history also entered the study as the control group. All maternal and neonatal data were collected from participants’ medical records. Determining the prevalence of neonatal asphyxia was the primary outcome of the present study. Results: Totally 48 subjects as the case and control groups were included and 16 asphyxiated cases were observed equal to 3.3 per 1000 live-born neonates. Concerning the type of delivery, cesarean section in the control group and vaginal delivery in the case group were the most frequent types of delivery (p=0.041). Comparing neonatal variables, the results showed a significant difference regarding the groups’ genders (p=0.036). Apgar scores in the case group were also significantly lower than the control group (p=0.0001). More cases also required PPV compared to the controls (12 vs. 0; p=0.0001). Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) grade 1 was also significantly more frequent in the case group than the controls (p=0.0001). The means of pH and base excess in the case group were significantly lower than the control group (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The results showed the prevalence rate of asphyxia among term and late preterm participants was 3.3 cases per 1000 live-born neonates. Apgar scores<5 accompanied with metabolic acidosis, HIE, and requirement of PPV could be predictive variables for perinatal asphyxia. Observing such clinical risk factors may indicate the need of early diagnosis and timely interventions to improve neonatal outcomes.
