Summary
Cochlear and brainstem implants in France are reimbursable, with a registry tracking 5051 patients from 2012-2016. This study analyzes the evolution of key indicators for these medical devices over five years.
Area of Science:
- Medical device evaluation
- Health technology assessment
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Cochlear and brainstem implants were added to France's list of reimbursable products (LPPR) in March 2009.
- Initial inscription was for 5 years, requiring renewal applications to the CNEDiMTS.
- A post-registration registry, EPIIC, was established for these implants.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the evolution of general indicators within the EPIIC registry.
- To analyze data for 5051 patients implanted between 2012 and 2016.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of data from the EPIIC registry.
- Longitudinal study of patient indicators over a five-year period (2012-2016).
Main Results:
- The study reports on the evolution of general indicators for 5051 patients.
- Data covers the five-year period from 2012 to 2016.
Conclusions:
- The EPIIC registry provides valuable longitudinal data on cochlear and brainstem implants.
- This data is crucial for understanding the long-term performance and outcomes of these devices.
