The current study aimed to determine the criteria used for screening and diagnosing cases with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) in India. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey design was used in the present study. A questionnaire was developed to determine the criteria used for screening and diagnosing CAPD across clinics in India. Responses were obtained from 83 participants from all over India. Results indicated that 78% of respondents were currently doing CAPD evaluation. In that, the majority of respondents (63%) had a predetermined minimum battery that was relatively adaptable depending on the case history and age of the patient. In screening, most respondents used a screening questionnaire (SCAP, 75%) and a screening test (STAP, 60%). In the diagnostic protocol, the most used tests by the respondents were masking level difference (MLD), repetition of words (RW), gap detection test (GDT), pitch pattern test (PPT), speech perception in noise (SPIN), digit span test (DST), dichotic digit test (DDT), binaural fusion test (BFT), auditory brainstem response (ABR), dichotic CV test (DCVT), and duration pattern test (DPT). The current study's result will help professionals choose the minimum test battery for diagnosing CAPD.
本研究旨在确定印度用于筛查和诊断中枢听觉处理障碍（CAPD）病例的标准。本研究采用了基于问卷调查的横断面调查设计。设计了一份问卷，以确定印度各诊所用于筛查和诊断CAPD的标准。从印度各地的83名参与者那里获得了回复。结果表明，78%的受访者目前正在进行CAPD评估。其中，大多数受访者（63%）有一个预先确定的最低测试组合，该组合会根据患者的病史和年龄进行相对调整。在筛查中，大多数受访者使用筛查问卷（SCAP，75%）和筛查测试（STAP，60%）。在诊断方案中，受访者最常使用的测试是掩蔽级差（MLD）、单词重复（RW）、间隙检测测试（GDT）、音调模式测试（PPT）、噪声中的言语感知（SPIN）、数字广度测试（DST）、双耳数字测试（DDT）、双耳融合测试（BFT）、听觉脑干反应（ABR）、双耳CV测试（DCVT）和时长模式测试（DPT）。本研究的结果将有助于专业人员选择用于诊断CAPD的最低测试组合。
