Abstract
ALCIVAR ARTEAGA, Daniel Alfredo and OROZCO GUTIERREZ, Alberto. Stimulation of sustained attention in the neonate prior to auditive screening, reduction of false positive. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.44-49. Epub Mar 22, 2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/91999.
Otoacoustic emission tests (OAE) and auditory response of the brain stem are used as screening tools for hearing screening in newborns. However, there are high rates of false positives. Therefore, it is determined whether the auditory stimulation prior to screening affected the incidence of false positives.
Material and methods:
Case and control study, longitudinal and experimental; the case group was given an auditory stimulus prior to auditory screening with Mozart Sonata No. 6 in D at 50 to 320 kbps.
Results:
Both study groups were statistically equal; It was found that gestational age is not related to screening results (p = 0.782). There is a significant difference between the results obtained in the screening with and without previous auditory stimulation (p = 0.017). Showing a greater specificity in the use of prior auditory stimulation than screening without such stimulation (93.75 vs. 84.49%).
Conclusion:
The auditory stimulation modified the number of false positives possibly associated with the lower level of environmental noise and the stimulation of sustained attention is favored by not being able to request the use of the organizational and executive network of care.
