Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To assess physicians' knowledge and beliefs regarding vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) testing in children.

METHODS

A survey was delivered via email in html format to 1069 members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery who identified as pediatric otolaryngologists. Study data were collected and managed using the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tools.

RESULTS

443 (41.4%) physicians opened the email. 190 (42.9% of opens) initiated the survey, of which 117 (61.9%) fully completed the survey of the physicians who responded to a question regarding knowledge of VEMP, 16% of respondents had never heard of the test. 16% of participants would use it in the setting of diagnosing pediatric conductive hearing loss. Responses regarding the youngest age at which VEMP is possible ranged from younger than 6 months through greater than 13 years of age. Beliefs regarding utility and reliability of VEMP varied, with 'unsure' as the most frequent response. Additionally, only 26% of pediatric otolaryngologists indicated some access to the test.

CONCLUSION

The knowledge and availability of VEMP testing in the pediatric otolaryngology community varies widely.

摘要

目的

评估医生关于儿童前庭诱发肌源性电位（VEMP）测试的知识和看法。

方法

通过电子邮件以超文本标记语言（html）格式向1069名自认为是儿科耳鼻喉科医生的美国耳鼻喉科——头颈外科学会成员发送了一份调查问卷。研究数据使用研究电子数据采集（REDCap）工具进行收集和管理。

结果

443名（41.4%）医生打开了电子邮件。190名（占打开邮件者的42.9%）开始填写调查问卷，其中117名（61.9%）完整填写了问卷。在回答了关于VEMP知识问题的医生中，16%的受访者从未听说过该测试。16%的参与者会在诊断儿童传导性听力损失时使用它。关于VEMP测试可行的最小年龄的回答范围从6个月以下到13岁以上。关于VEMP实用性和可靠性的看法各不相同，最常见的回答是“不确定”。此外，只有26%的儿科耳鼻喉科医生表示可以进行该测试。
