Coefficients between TEOAEs and DPOAEs in infants / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

bjectiveTo investigate the coefficients of TEOAEs and DPOAEs based on various pass/fail criteria. Method:Thirty-six Australia infants were tested (age range 1～6 months) using both TEOAE and DPOAE. Cohen′s Kappa (K) were used to analyze different criteria.Result:There is a significant low agreement in the screening outcomes between TEOAEs and DPOAEs, and different criteria for TEOAEs.Conclusion:The findings from the study of coefficients among commonly used screening pass/fail criteria suggested that there is no simple relationship among them. The possible reasons for weak agreement were discussed.
