AIM: To clarify auditory brainstem response (ABR) in preterm infants with bilirubin encephalopathy and the relationships between ABR and clinical variables.
METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed the ABR waveforms of 56 preterm infants with BE and graded them as "no response", "abnormal interwave separation", or "normal". Patient backgrounds, the peak total bilirubin level, the bilirubin/albumin ratio, verbal communication ability, and newborn hearing screening test results from an automated ABR evaluation had been collected during an earlier nationwide survey.
RESULTS: The frequency of abnormal ABR findings decreased with age. Verbal communication tended to be poorer in patients with more severe ABR abnormalities. ABR findings improved in 7 of 29 infants with available serial ABR data. Both gestational age and the peak total bilirubin level were relatively lower in patients with than in those without improved ABR findings. Newborn hearing screening using automated ABR evaluation yielded data consistent with manual ABR findings in 16 of 20 patients who underwent both examinations.
CONCLUSIONS: ABR abnormalities in preterm infants with bilirubin encephalopathy may improve over time, especially in those with a lower gestational age and peak total bilirubin level. Newborn hearing screening using automated ABR may fail to detect abnormalities in some infants.
