AIM
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children have among the highest rates of otitis media (OM) and associated conductive hearing loss in the world. OM begins early in life and is well-documented in the research literature. In contrast, audiology data for the infant and toddler age-groups are limited. This review aimed to summarise the recent literature on hearing loss among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants and toddlers.
METHODS
Systematic literature review. PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were searched for relevant journal articles. Key search terms were "Aboriginal", "children", "hearing loss", "otitis media", and their relevant synonyms. Journal articles published before 2000 were excluded.
RESULTS
Only two journal articles met review inclusion criteria. Ear disease and associated conductive hearing loss was significantly higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander than non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. No intervention studies were found.
CONCLUSIONS
More research is needed to evaluate hearing health outcomes of medical (including surgical) and audiological interventions in this high-risk population.
目的
澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童的中耳炎（OM）及相关传导性听力损失发生率位居世界前列。中耳炎在儿童早期就会出现，并且在研究文献中有充分记载。相比之下，关于婴幼儿年龄组的听力学数据有限。本综述旨在总结近期有关原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民婴幼儿听力损失的文献。
方法
系统文献综述。在PubMed和ScienceDirect数据库中检索相关期刊文章。关键检索词为“原住民”“儿童”“听力损失”“中耳炎”及其相关同义词。排除2000年之前发表的期刊文章。
结果
仅有两篇期刊文章符合综述纳入标准。原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童的耳部疾病及相关传导性听力损失显著高于非原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童。未发现干预性研究。
结论
需要开展更多研究，以评估针对这一高危人群的医学（包括手术）和听力学干预的听力健康结果。
