Определение и качество скрининга

• Основной целью скрининга является первичная идентификация заболеваний и расстройств, которые не выявляются другими способами, с помощью соответствующих методов. Скрининг позволяет выделить из всего населения группы повышенного риска.

Определение и качество скрининга

• Чувствительность, специфичность и простота в использовании (минимизация перенаправлений)

• Неопределяемость нарушения через клинические исследования

• Доступность методов вмешательства с целью коррекции проблем, определенных скринингом.

• Ранний скрининг, диангостика и вмешательство способствуют улучшению результатов.

• Приемлемая стоимость.

Американская академия педиатрии, 1999

Определение и качество скрининга

• Глухота – наиболее частое расстройство у новорожденных.

• Скрининг на предмет врожденной потери слуха является неинвазивным, объективным и недорогим.

• Доступно оборудование для измерения ОАЭ и АРСП.

• Ведущие производители утверждают, что чувствительность их оборудования достигает 99%, а специфичность – 97%.

Неонатальный скрининг отвечает всем критериям

Overview of the Worldwide Situation

USA: 90% of newborns screenedGermany: Law passed in 2009,

responsibility lies with federal lands

Loss to follow-up varies within 2 to 50%.

The situation is very heterogeneous

Facts

- the incidence of hearing loss in very young children is high

- suitable screening equipment is available

Still, the necessity of hearing screening for children in pre-school age is unfortunately not yet discussed on a broad basis

Screening for the elderly

- There is a growing ageing population in developed countries

- The hearing loss in elderly people may be progressive, thus they accommodate to it and do not notice it

- Once the elderly person retires from social life due to deafness, it is almost too late for hearing aids to be effective

Also a growing necessity

Motivate the elderly to maintain their hearing

People in the „third quarter of their life” stay more active and feel younger, as long as they live self-sufficiently

Interaction with their environment and participation in social life is fundamental for self-esteem and well-being

Hearing and understanding are fundamental to ,,social competence"
