Strum D, Kapoor E, Shim T, et al. - Researchers conducted a comprehensive literature search for scientific articles in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to determine the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) attributable to sickle cell disease (SCD) in the global pediatric population and to identify factors contributing to its severity. In total, 1,282 SCD patients and 553 controls were involved in the meta‐analysis. This is the first systematic study of the relationship between SCD and SNHL in pediatric patients worldwide. The increased prevalence of SNHL in the pediatric SCD population calls for additional research into the predictors of SNHL severity, as well as routine audiometric monitoring of SCD patients to decrease the social and developmental morbidity of hearing loss at a young age.
