Table 4 Proportion of participants passing TEOAE examination at timepoints 4 and 5 respectively, compared to a healthy control group

From: A long-term follow-up study on otoacoustic emissions testing in paediatric patients with severe malaria in Gabon

 

Passed TEOAE examination

Mean wave reproducibility (mean of both ears ± standard deviation)

14–28 days after admission

65.15% (43/66)

79.7 (± 16.00)

5-year follow up

83.87% (26/31)

83.92 (± 14.78)

Control group

92.22% (83/90)

87.11 (± 12.99)

  1. The difference in pass rates between timepoints 4 and 5 was statistically assessed using a GEE model (accounting for repeated measures over time, sequential Sidak corrected p = 0.03 when only comparing the last two timepoints, p = 0.19 when adjusting for multiple comparisons for all 5 timepoints). The difference in mean wave reproducibility was statistically significant between timepoint 4 and the healthy control group (student’s t-test, p < 0.01). The differences between timepoint 4 and 5 and between timepoint 5 and the control group were not significant (p = 0.22 and 0.25, respectively)
