<p>Background. According to the Colombia National Statistics<br />Administration (2005) in Colombia it is estimated that 17.3%<br />of the registered population has permanent hearing limitations, of which 24 547 are under 10.</p><p><br />Objective. This study aimed to determine the national prevalence of hearing loss in the population under 10 years of age between 2009 and 2011, identifying the variations in rates by type of hearing loss, unilateral or bilateral loss, age, and sex.</p><p><br />Materials and methods. This descriptive, cross-sectional<br />study, used data from the Individual Records of Health<br />Procedures that was reported to the Colombian Ministry of<br />Health during the period of observation and that was related<br />to the diagnostic categories of hearing loss at discharge laid<br />out in the ICD-10.</p><p><br />Results. The analysis identified a hearing loss rate of 4.3 cases per 1,000 individuals under 10 years of age. The rate of sensorineural hearing loss cases was 5.1, 2.4 for conductive hearing loss and 1.2 for mixed hearing loss. Rates of 5.7 for bilateral hearing loss and 0.6 for unilateral losses were identified. A higher rate was found in children aged 5 to 10 years (2.4), than in children of 0-4 years of age (1.9).</p><p><br />Conclusions. The evidence shows a high rate of hearing loss<br />in children under 10 years of age. No significant differences<br />between males and females are identified. Similar behavior was observed for both sexes in terms of sensorineural and conductive losses. However, there was a greater presence of mixed loss in females than in males.</p>
Introducción. En la actualidad no hay cifras sobre las personas que padecen artritis reumatoide (AR), lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) o síndrome de Sjögren (SS) ni información sobre las alteraciones auditivas que puede causar el tratamiento farmacológico utilizado para controlar dichas enfermedades.Objetivo. Evidenciar las posibles afectaciones y alteraciones audiológicas y vestibulares producidas por AR, LES y SS o su tratamiento farmacológico.Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron los hallazgos clínicos de herramientas diagnósticas y procedimientos de prevención e intervención de alteraciones auditivas en artículos de investigación publicados en español, inglés, francés y portugués en bases de datos científicas entre los años 2000 y 2016.Resultados. Se extrajeron 62 artículos de investigación (31 de AR, 5 de LES, 12 de SS, 5 de Hipoacusia inmunomediada, 9 de medicamentos ototóxicos), 1 tesis doctoral sobre AR, 1 tesis doctoral sobre AR y LES y 1 guía de práctica clínica para la detección temprana, diagnóstico y tratamiento de AR. Se evidenció que las pérdidas auditivas con mayor reporte son hipoacusia neurosensorial, lesiones en cadena osicular y vestíbulo-coclear.Conclusiones. Se confirmó la relación entre las lesiones audiológicas y AR, LES y SS, pero aun no es claro el desarrollo de los ototóxicos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
