“…When these families do not adhere to hearing follow up programs the prevalence of hearing loss in newborns may be widely underestimated. A recent study shows that the improvement of early identification of hearing loss in newborns, increased the prevalence from 0.9 to 1.7/1000 infants screened ( 21 ) . Hearing loss triples in school aged children due to lost cases in NHS as well as late onset hearing loss ( 22 ) .…”

Purpose Analyze maternal and child predictors associated with loss to follow-up in the newborn hearing screening program at maternity hospitals in northeastern Brazil. Methods Retrospective cohort study, including secondary data from infants (n=604) referred to the newborn hearing screening program in two maternity hospitals for monitoring and/or diagnosis. The predictors evaluated included socioeconomic factors, such as maternal age, marital status, income, schooling, place of residence, number of children and number of prenatal visits. In addition, maternal and child health factors, such as smoking and drug intake during pregnancy, consanguinity, congenital infections, craniofacial malformations, use of ototoxic drugs, syndromes and a history of hearing loss in the family. Statistical analysis was performed based on binary logistic regression models, using the stepwise method. Results The logistic regression model containing the number of prenatal visits and the history of hearing loss in the family was significant [χ2(2) =34.271; p<0.001]. The number of prenatal visits (OR = 2.343; 95% CI = 1.626 - 3.376) and family history of hearing loss (OR = 2.167; 95% CI = 1.507 - 3.115) were significant predictors. The other predictors were not significant. Conclusion The results reveal that newborns whose mothers had ≤ 5 prenatal visits and those with a family history of hearing loss increased their likelihood of loss to follow-up by 2.3 and 2.1 times, respectively. It is important to provide subsidies for public health improvements in order to help advise, guide and educate mothers, especially during prenatal care.

Annotation. Neonatal screening is performed for the early identification of genetically determined rare diseases that are subject to treatment and require immediate intervention. The aim of the work is data exchange to acquaint clinicians with the need for mandatory newborn screening, problems and challenges of early diagnosis of hereditary and congenital diseases. A literature review of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus databases was conducted; materials of review articles describing clinical cases related to newborn screening were studied. Review and analytical and bibliosemantic research methods were used. The main screening tests used to identify infants with critical congenital heart diseases are prenatal ultrasound, postnatal clinical examination, and pulse oximetry. Newborn genetic screening is aimed at identifying genetic and metabolic disorders, is carried out at the state level and integrates screening policy, follow-up, diagnosis, treatment of revealed disease, and tracking the results. The false-positive results are higher for sick infants in the intensive care unit due to their metabolic instability and functional immature enzymes. DNA tests of 2-tiered significantly improve both the specificity and sensitivity of testing, and reduce the number of false-positive results. An effective approach to screening for hearing loss is two-tiered testing, in which audiometry is followed with DNA testing for GJB2 mutations in the connexin-26 gene. Traditional ophthalmic screening of newborns is performed using the red reflex test. Modern diagnostic algorithms include indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy with scleral indentation, digital imaging systems, artificial intelligence, OCT. Dental screening is aimed at detecting congenital oral anomaly such as lip and tongue tie, cleft lip and palate, and oral manifestations of maxillofacial disorders in genetic pathologies. Implementation of neonatal screening provides an opportunity for pre-symptomatic diagnosis of hereditary and congenital diseases, the timely detection of which and the appointment of appropriate treatment prevent the development of complications and improve the child’s quality of life. In the future, issues of an interdisciplinary approach to the management of rare diseases in infants will be covered.

“…Current evidence in the USA indicates that over 95% of neonates and infants now undergo hearing screening prior to the age of one-month-old, which is a 75% increase from their 1999 statistics (Deng et al 2020). Grosse et al (2017) and Subbiah et al (2018) reported that with the annual early identification of over 6 000 infants who are hearing-impaired in the USA, more children (with their families) can achieve enhanced language development outcomes as well as improved overall well-being. This success in hearing screening in the USA is, however, not mirrored by the early provision of follow-up diagnostic and intervention services for these children.…”

“…This success in hearing screening in the USA is, however, not mirrored by the early provision of follow-up diagnostic and intervention services for these children. Generally, it is documented that in the period 2016-2017, among the documented cases in the USA, less than 50% of infants with refer findings on screening had received diagnosis by three-months-old as recommended by the JCIH, and less than 50% of those with a diagnosis of hearing impairment had commenced intervention by six-months-old (Deng et al 2020;Grosse et al 2017;Subbiah et al 2018). Reasons that were proffered for these outcomes are surprising for an HIC, but are very valuable for LMICs to learn from.…”
