This was a cross-sectional study based on a register of children diagnosed with HI. Our results were compared with prevalence data from 18 studies from Sweden and other high-income countries, covering data collected from 1964 to the present. In December 2017, a total of 1911 out of 524,957 children 0–18 years of age and living in Stockholm County were enrolled in the regional programme for HI intervention. The overall prevalence of unilateral and bilateral HI >20 dB was 3.6/1000. The overall prevalence of bilateral HI >40 dB HL was 1.5/1000, split into age groups the prevalence was 0.4/1000 (<1 year of age), 1/1000 (1–4 years), 1.5/1000 (5–9 years), 1.6/1000 (10–14 years), and 2.14/1000 (15–18 years). From 1 to 18 years of age, the prevalence increased by a factor of 3.5 for moderate to profound HI >40 dB HL (0.7 to 2.4/1000). The prevalence of HI across childhood in Stockholm County today is not significantly different from previous reports from Sweden and other high-income countries. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
