Many of normally developed Central Nervous System deviations could be safely avoided it preventive measures were taken in high risk individuals. It’s specially important to identify preconceptional and prenatal risk factors (e.g.: biological, psychosocial, economic and environment ones) which may alter the physiological development of children teenagers and adults, whether isolated or acting in combination. Widely spread preventive programs in Cuba (1) are able to achieve this goal and their efficiency is systematically controlled by different care levels. Their purposes are mainly to improve people’s standard of living end to transform the family, community and school surroundings, searching for a constructive and collaborative relationship among each program’s members. This is the first prevention level which major goal is to remove or minimize the hearing loss-qualitative and quantitative risk factors.
The National Mother and Infant, Family physician and Nurse, Genetic Diseases, Congenital Malformations Prenatal Diagnosis and Register, Immunizations, Family Plan and Low Birth Weight Reduction Programs are decisive contributors to this matters(1,2,3,4,5,6).
Failure to attain this purpose before birth is followed by a group of preventive actions in order to early avoid deficiencies (second level of prevention) (7). It’s possible with the aplication The Early Screening Child’s Program for The High Auditive Risk child (during the first three months of age) (8) and the arrangement of 36 Pediatric Intensive Care Units and 40 Neonatal Intensive Therapies.
If hipoacusia is a helpless fact then preventive actions aim to elude handicap’s appearance by a well-grounded pedagogic strategy through a National Special Education Program (9) (third level of prevention).
The cuban high auditive risk screening began during the last decade. Information on National Preventive Basic Health Care Programs results is not yet available in our area. So the purpose of this study is to fulfill these objective. The identification of hipoacusia’s morbidity in newborns and infants was our general goal.
We specifically tried to determine the hearing loss incidence according to the moment of diagnosis, to gather the neonatal auditive search results, to classify and show hipoacusia’s severity among the studied children taken into account the time of diagnoses and finally to discern the risk factors appearance frequency related to the patients age.
