Longitudinal electrophysiological study of auditory pathway in small for gestational age infants

Abstract: The findings suggest that, for SGA infants, the maturational process of the auditory pathway occurs in different rate when compared to AGA infants. The SGA infants have faster maturation especially at the first three months of life, while in infants AGA, this process occurred in a constant and gradual way throughout the six months studied.

“…The results of the present study showed the lack of asymmetry between the ears in the evaluated groups, in contrast with a study that found higher wave V amplitude and lower BAEP wave latency in the right ear, suggesting that the right ear is favored in auditory processing along the auditory pathway (15) . Our results are consistent with the current literature, concluding that the maturational process along the central auditory pathways occurs simultaneously in both ears (16)(17)(18)(19) . During the neonatal period, the comparison between the AGA and SGA groups (Table 1) showed no differences, except for wave I, which was significantly more precocious in the AGA group.…”

“…The preparation of all NBs for BAEP testing was conducted as follows: prior cleaning of the skin with abrasive paste and fixation of Kendal® Meditrace-200 disposable pediatric electrodes on the forehead (Fpz) and the right and left mastoids (M 2 and M 1 ), according to the International Electrode Systems standards (IES [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The acoustic stimulus was presented by a pair of ER-3A insertion earphones, eliciting the responses.…”

“…So, five studies concluded with their investigations that there are changes in neural development in the SGA population influencing the maturation process of the auditory pathway, resulting in abnormalities in the BAEP test. 10,12,16,26,31 On the other hand, five studies 15,25,[27][28][29] did not evidence differences between the SGA and AGA groups. These disparities among the results can be justified by some peculiarities among the studies, such as the population studied, differences of methodologies, the type of study used, and the small number of participants in some of the studies.…”

“…The prolongation of wave V latency can have different meanings, such as the maturation process of central auditory pathways or by peripheral conductive alteration, for instance. 30 All studies used in our review only included in their investigations full-term participants with normal hearing, who presented the bilateral presence of otoacoustic emissions and a type A tympanometry curve 10,16,25,27,31 and were free of risk factors, known for affecting hearing function. 15,26,28,29 Therefore, the risk factor studied that could affect hearing function was the SGA factor.…”

“…Other factor that confirms the likelihood of greater alterations in infants born at term and small for gestational age would be the brain vulnerability due to the impact caused by intrauterine nutritional restriction; therefore, the degree of neurological impairment of a SGA child will depend on the time, severity and duration of the insult (1) . In addition, T/SGA infants, when compared to T/AGA infants, are three times more likely to develop morbidities, possibly because they have a different maturation rhythm of the auditory pathway when compared to AGA children (1,17,18) .…”
