One objective of the Department of Veterans Affairs study: A Prospective Randomized Study of Advanced Cochlear Implants was to attempt to identify preoperative patient characteristics that might predict postoperative performance. We studied the relationship between all preoperative factors and the 2-year postoperative performance on 24 audiological tests for 82 patients who were implanted with the Ineraid, Nucleus, or 3M/Vienna device. Results of the univariate analysis indicated that computed tomographic findings of the cochlea and round window, IQ, age at implantation, length of deafness, profound deafness, and lipreading ability weakly correlated to postoperative performance. The multivariate analysis showed age at time of implantation, IQ, and lipreading ability to be predictive of postoperative performance.
退伍军人事务部的一项研究——《先进人工耳蜗前瞻性随机研究》的一个目标是试图确定可能预测术后表现的术前患者特征。我们研究了82名植入Ineraid、Nucleus或3M/维也纳装置的患者的所有术前因素与术后两年24项听力测试表现之间的关系。单因素分析结果表明，耳蜗和圆窗的计算机断层扫描结果、智商、植入时的年龄、耳聋时长、极重度耳聋和唇读能力与术后表现的相关性较弱。多因素分析显示，植入时的年龄、智商和唇读能力可预测术后表现。
