Association of Cognitive Impairment Screening Scores With Improvements in Speech Recognition and Quality of Life After Cochlear Implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Many cochlear implant centers screen patients for cognitive impairment as part of the evaluation process, but the utility of these scores in predicting cochlear implant outcomes is unknown.

Objective

To determine whether there is an association between cognitive impairment screening scores and cochlear implant outcomes.

Design, setting, and participants

Retrospective case series of adult cochlear implant recipients who underwent preoperative cognitive impairment screening with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) from 2018 to 2020 with 1-year follow-up at a single tertiary cochlear implant center. Data analysis was performed on data from January 2018 through December 2021.

Exposures

Cochlear implantation.

Main outcomes and measures
