Auditory evaluation of infants born to COVID19 positive mothers

COVID-19 infection can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms. The audio-vestibular system can also be involved, but there is still debate about this so findings need to be considered carefully. Furthermore, mother to fetus intrauterine transmission of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women is controversial. Few studies are available about the audio-vestibular symptomatology of newborns with intrauterine COVID19 exposure.
This dataset is the basis of a study who wants to investigate the possible correlation between the COVID19 gestational infection and hearing impairment onset in newborns. The involvement of hearing in COVID19 is verified so the timing and methodology of audiological evaluation of children can be planned.
In this dataset were collected: personal data of children and mothers, results of newborn hearing screening and audiological evaluation of the children born to COVID19-infected mothers.
Children personal data were: gender, age at the moment of newborn hearing screening and auditory evaluation test, birth weight, gestational age, type of delivery, Apgar score, breastfeeding type, risk factors for hearing loss (according to JCHI 2019), COVID19 infection informations (infection, symptomatology, use of drugs).
Mother data collected were: maternal age, TORCH complex (Toxoplasmosis, Others, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex) infections, use of drugs and pathologies during pregnancy, COVID19 case history concerning gestational age of infection, symptomatology, use of drugs, number and result of the nasopharyngeal swabs, and serologic evaluation.
Concerning newborn hearing screening data, we collected the Automatic Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions test results (PASS or REFER).
Audiological evaluation data collected were: acoustic immittance test results (type of tympanogram and Elicited or Non-Elicited Acoustic Reflex Measures), Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions test results (Elicited or Non-Elicited) and the Auditory Brainstem Response test (threshold value of the right and left V wave).

COVID-19感染可引发广泛的临床症状。听觉-前庭系统亦可能受到影响，然此问题尚存争议，故需谨慎考虑相关发现。此外，孕妇胎儿宫内感染COVID-19的争议亦颇多。关于宫内暴露于COVID-19的新生儿听觉-前庭症状学研究，现有研究数量有限。本数据集为研究COVID-19孕期感染与新生儿听力障碍发生可能相关性的研究基础。鉴于COVID-19与听力的相关性已得到证实，因此可规划儿童听觉评估的时间和方法。本数据集中收集了以下信息：儿童及母亲的个人信息，新生儿听力筛查及COVID-19感染母亲所生儿童的听觉评估结果。儿童个人信息包括：性别、新生儿听力筛查及听觉评估测试时的年龄、出生体重、孕周、分娩方式、Apgar评分、母乳喂养类型、听力损失风险因素（根据2019年JCHI标准）、COVID-19感染信息（感染情况、症状、药物使用）。母亲收集的数据包括：母亲年龄、TORCH复合感染（弓形虫病、其他、风疹、巨细胞病毒、单纯疱疹）、孕期药物及病理状况、感染COVID-19的病史（感染孕周、症状、药物使用、鼻咽拭子数量及结果、血清学评估）。关于新生儿听力筛查数据，收集了自动瞬态诱发性耳声发射测试结果（通过或未通过）。听觉评估数据包括：声导抗测试结果（鼓室图类型及诱发或非诱发声反射测量）、畸变产物耳声发射测试结果（诱发或非诱发）以及听觉脑干反应测试（左右V波阈值）。
