BACKGROUND: @entity393 in newborns. AIM: To verify the prevalence of auditory alterations in newborns of Hospital S  o Paulo (hospital), observing if there are any correlations with the following variables: birth weight, gestational age, relation weight/gestational age and risk factors for @entity393 . METHOD: A retrospective analysis of the hospital records of 1696 newborns; 648 records of preterm @entity1 and 1048 records of @entity1 born at term. All of the @entity1 had been submitted to an auditory evaluation consisting of: Transient Otoacoustic Emissions, investigation of the cochleal-palpebral reflexes and acoustic imittance tests, identifying the type and level of @entity393 . RESULTS: @entity1274 was identified in .82% of the @entity1 who were born at term and in 3.1% of the preterm @entity1 -- with a statistically significant difference. Conductive @entity393 was the most frequent type of @entity393 in both groups, occurring in 14.6% of the term @entity1 and in 16.3% of the preterm @entity1 . Alteration of the central auditory system was considered as a possible diagnosis for 5.8% of the preterm @entity1 and for 3.3% of the term @entity1 . For the group of @entity1 who were born at term, a significant correlation was observed between failure in the hearing screening test and the presence of risk factors such as family history and presence of a syndrome -- the @entity1 who presented a syndrome had 37 times more chances of failing in the hearing screening test and seven times more chances of failing in the right ear when there was a family history for @entity393 . The lower the gestational age (< 30 weeks) and birth weight (< 1500 g), the higher the chances of failing in the hearing screening test (3 times more). CONCLUSION: @entity393 had a higher occurrence in preterm @entity1 who remained in the ICU. Gestational age and birth weight were important variables related to the possibility of failure in the hearing screening test. A correlation was observed between the presence of a syndrome and @entity1274 in @entity1 who were born at term.
