A report from researchers at Perth Children's Hospital in Australia provides an overview of risk factors, management, and prevention of cochlear implant infections. The research highlights the importance of understanding and addressing the risk of infection associated with cochlear implantation, as it can lead to significant morbidity and cost. Preventive measures such as pneumococcal vaccination, S. aureus decolonization, and preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis are found to play a role in reducing infection rates. However, the researchers emphasize the need for well-designed clinical trials to provide higher-level evidence for guiding preventive measures and management decisions in the future.
