Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

Analysis of the first stage of universal newborn hearing screening in St. Petersburg and increasing its effectiveness.

RESULTS

In result of the audit, it was found that screening performs in all maternity wards, children’s hospitals and at the majority of pediatric clinics. Meanwhile only 14% of institutions meet criteria of good practice in providing screening. In other clinics improving the procedure of screening is needed: equipment update and calibration, correction of the method and conditions of examination, results documenting, etc. The set of activities for increasing the effectiveness of newborn hearing screening is proposed. The work which carried out with institutions during and after audit allowed to reach 100% involving clinics in screening system in 6 months. Due to information support of institutions coverage of newborns by the first stage of screening increased on 8.5% (matched to target) and the number of referred children who come to the second stage of screening increased on 18%. Results suggest that the audit of the first stage of newborn hearing screening by the district pediatric audiological centers is an effective tool for finding problems in the screening system and its solving.
