Performance after timely cochlear implantation in prelingually deaf children with cerebral palsy

Outcomes of cochlear implanted children with cerebral palsy: A holistic approach

“…The current study, as well as the ones mentioned above [2,28,30], may be the first to submit arguments to support the ''extended benefits'' of the CI, i.e., functions and skills that are developed with the possibility to hear.…”

“…In the study of Byun et al [28], eight cochlear implanted children with CP, two in particular had athetoid PC and were classified as GMFCS level V and another at level I. These two athetoid children had the first and third best progress on receptive language; the second best progress observed in a child with spastic CP classified at level III of the GMFCS.…”

Cochlear implant performance in children deafened by congenital cytomegalovirus—A systematic review

“…The critical appraisal of the 30 studies is presented in Table . One study was a prospective cohort study, all other studies were retrospective studies.…”

“…One study was a prospective cohort study, all other studies were retrospective studies. Twenty‐three studies included children with cCMV‐related hearing loss as well as children with other causes of hearing loss . Eleven studies directly compared a cCMV‐group to a non‐cCMV‐group .…”

“…Eleven studies directly compared a cCMV‐group to a non‐cCMV‐group . The non‐cCMV group included children with various causes of SNHL in five studies, and children with hereditary SNHL due to connexine 26 (Cx26) mutation in six studies . In one study, a comparison could be distracted, yet no statistical analysis .…”
