利用寬頻聲學阻抗及聽覺反射測試對健康與新生兒加護病房新生兒進行導音功能多變量預測

// Multivariate prediction of conductive dysfunction in well and NICU newborns using wideband acoustic immittance with acoustic reflex tests

本研究評估寬頻聲學阻抗（WAI）與聲學反射閾值（ART）於新生兒聽力篩檢中應用｜採用多變量模型分析1至2.8 kHz頻段的吸收量與鼓膜測量變數，準確預測篩檢失敗案例｜檢查探頭漏氣或阻塞可提升測試準確度，結果支持WAI與ART結合為可信且高預測價值的新生兒傳導性聽損篩檢工具。

// This study evaluated wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) and acoustic reflex thresholds (ART) in newborn hearing screening to improve detection of conductive hearing loss. Using multivariate models with ambient absorbance and tympanometric admittance variables between 1-2.8 kHz, the tests accurately predicted screening failures and were validated on independent well-baby and NICU groups. Detection and exclusion of probe leaks or blockages improved ambient test predictions. The findings support WAI combined with ART as a reliable, high positive predictive value tool for newborn hearing screening and subsequent diagnosis of conductive hearing loss.
