// Social Determinants of Health and Impact on Cochlear Implant Performance
本研究探討社會健康決定因素(SDH)對成人人工耳蝸語音理解改善的影響|447名參與者回顧性分析顯示,較高的區域貧困指數(ADI)與Medicare患者語音改善較小有關|商業保險患者則呈相反趨勢,強調考量SDH有助促進聽力醫療公平性。
// This study examined how social determinants of health (SDH), measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), affect speech perception improvements after cochlear implantation in adults. Using a retrospective cohort design with 447 participants, researchers analyzed changes in speech scores three months post-implant and their association with ADI and insurance type. They found that higher socioeconomic disadvantage (higher ADI) was linked to smaller speech improvements in patients with Medicare, while the opposite was seen in those with commercial insurance. The findings highlight the importance of considering SDH in cochlear implant outcomes to promote equitable hearing healthcare.
