AimTo determine congenital and developmental outcomes of children with Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL) who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).MethodRetrospective, single-site study that followed 25 children with permanent congenital UHL and a NICU admission to a NICU of Nottingham University Hospital. Birth and two-year developmental follow-up data were collected. They were compared to matched control group who had a NICU admission but no hearing loss (matched on gestational age, weight and sex).ResultsThe median birthweights, gestational ages and number of days spent on the NICU for the UHL population were 2510 g, 36 weeks, and 12 days respectively. Most children (20/25; 80%) with UHL and a NICU admission were diagnosed with a congenital anomaly within the first two years of life. Only half (13/25) of these children were diagnosed with a congenital anomaly at discharge. Children with UHL and a NICU admission were more likely than the matched group (NICU admission only; p |
