METHODS: This retrospective, non-randomized, cohort study was conducted at a tertiary speech and hearing rehabilitation institution according to STROBE guidelines. The study enrolled 123 preschool children diagnosed with speech language pathology and normal hearing. The participants included children with developmental language disorder, autism spectrum disorder, isolated articulation pathology, organic brain lesions, cognitive delay, and a group of very young children with clinically significant speech development delay. All patients underwent standard ABR procedures.
RESULTS: The latencies were the longest in the group of children with organic lesion, followed by the group of children with autism spectrum disorder, then the group with developmental language disorder, and the young children group. In the group of children with articulation pathology and the cognitive delay group, the latencies were the shortest.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a connection between several groups of children with language pathology that includes comprehension problems and prolongation of ABR latencies.
方法:本回顾性研究,非随机化,根据STROBE指南,在三级语言和听力康复机构进行了队列研究.该研究纳入了123名被诊断为言语语言病理和听力正常的学龄前儿童。参与者包括患有发育性语言障碍的儿童,自闭症谱系障碍,孤立的关节病理学,器质性脑损伤,认知延迟和一组具有临床意义的言语发育延迟的非常年幼的儿童。所有患者均接受标准ABR手术。
结果:器质性病变患儿组潜伏期最长,其次是自闭症儿童,然后是DLD组,和幼儿组。在关节病变患儿组和认知延迟患儿组中,延迟是最短的。
结论:这项研究显示了几组语言病理儿童之间的联系,包括理解问题和ABR潜伏期延长。
