The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a tertiary referral centre in Portugal, of the placement of BAHA in children.
The authors performed a retrospective analysis of all children for whom hearing rehabilitation with BAHA was indicated at a central hospital, between January 2003 and December 2014.
53 children were included. The most common indications for placement of BAHA were external and middle ear malformations (n=34, 64%) and chronic otitis media with difficult to control otorrhea (n=9, 17%). The average age for BAHA placement was 10.66±3.44 years. The average audiometric gain was 31.5±7.20dB compared to baseline values, with average hearing threshold with BAHA of 19.6±5.79dB. The most frequent postoperative complications were related to the skin (n=15, 28%). There were no major complications.
This study concludes that BAHA is an effective and safe method of hearing rehabilitation in children.
本研究旨在描述葡萄牙一家三级转诊中心为儿童植入骨锚式助听器（BAHA）的经验。
作者对2003年1月至2014年12月期间在一家中心医院接受BAHA听力康复治疗的所有儿童进行了回顾性分析。
共纳入53名儿童。植入BAHA最常见的适应症是外耳和中耳畸形（n = 34，64%）以及慢性中耳炎伴难以控制的耳漏（n = 9，17%）。BAHA植入的平均年龄为10.66±3.44岁。与基线值相比，平均听力增益为31.5±7.20dB，使用BAHA时的平均听力阈值为19.6±5.79dB。最常见的术后并发症与皮肤有关（n = 15，28%）。无重大并发症。
本研究得出结论，BAHA是一种有效且安全的儿童听力康复方法。
