Abstract

Objective: To investigate otoacoustic emission (OAE) screening results and related factors among newborns at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 2024 to 2025. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 443 newborns screened with OAE testing between November 2024 and November 2025. Results: Female newborns accounted for 52,82%, and 82,39% had a birth weight of 2,5–3,5 kg. The pass rate was 88,49% for the first OAE screening and 100% for the second screening. No significant association was found between gestational age, birth weight, and first OAE screening results. Conclusion: OAE testing is valuable for neonatal hearing screening and provides additional data on newborn hearing screening in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
