Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Delayed auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing under anesthesia for pediatric hearing loss diagnosis is linked to public insurance and complex medical conditions. These factors hinder timely diagnosis and treatment for affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Audiology
  • Diagnostic Medicine
  • Healthcare Access

Background:

  • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is crucial for diagnosing hearing loss in non-cooperative children.
  • General anesthesia is often required for ABR when natural sleep or behavioral methods fail.
  • Identifying barriers to ABR testing under anesthesia is essential for timely diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify demographic and patient-specific factors that impede access to diagnostic auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing under anesthesia.
  • To analyze the impact of insurance type and medical comorbidities on the time to ABR testing.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 395 pediatric patients undergoing ABR testing under anesthesia between 2017 and 2023.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, clinical diagnoses, and timelines from initial recommendation to testing.
  • Statistical analysis to compare time intervals based on insurance and medical complexity.

Main Results:

  • Median time to ABR testing under anesthesia was 5.1 months.
  • Significantly longer testing intervals were observed for patients with public insurance versus private insurance.
  • Patients with cardiac disease, developmental delay, neurologic disease, eye disease, and certain genetic syndromes experienced delays.

Conclusions:

  • Insurance status and specific medical diagnoses represent significant barriers to timely ABR testing under anesthesia.
  • Delays in ABR testing can postpone the diagnosis and management of pediatric hearing loss.
  • Addressing these barriers is critical for improving healthcare outcomes for children with hearing impairments.
