Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Newborn hearing screening (NHS) programs are critical for early identification of hearing loss in infants.
  • The national NHS program in Saudi Arabia has been running since 2016.
  • Limited research exists on the program's nationwide status and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current status of Saudi Arabia's national newborn hearing screening program.
  • To analyze screening coverage, referral/fail rates, and follow-up procedures across all provinces.
  • To provide data for future program enhancements and sustainability.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional retrospective study design was employed.
  • Data from the national newborn hearing screening program in 2021 were analyzed.
  • Key performance indicators including coverage and referral rates were examined.

Main Results:

  • In 2021, 199,034 newborns were screened.
  • The national screening coverage rate was 92.6%.
  • The overall referral/fail rate was 1.87%.

Conclusions:

  • The Saudi national newborn hearing screening program demonstrates substantial coverage.
  • Performance metrics provide a baseline for assessing and improving the program.
  • Sustained efforts are necessary to optimize the program's effectiveness and long-term viability.
