- Help text
- The proportion of babies eligible for newborn hearing screening for whom the screening process is complete by 4 weeks corrected age (hospital programmes: well babies, NICU babies) or by 5 weeks corrected age (community programmes: well babies).
Complete screens (numerator) is the total number of eligible babies for whom a decision about referral or discharge from the screening programmes is made within an effective timeframe. This includes:, babies for whom a conclusive screening result was available by 4 weeks corrected age (hospital programmes - well babies, NICU babies) or by 5 weeks corrected age (community programmes - well babies), babies referred to an audiology department because a newborn hearing screening encounter was inconclusive or contraindicated The screening outcomes that comprise a complete screen are:, clear response - no follow-up required, clear response - targeted follow-up required, no clear response - bilateral referral, unilateral referral, incomplete - baby/equipment reason, equipment malfunction, equipment not available, baby unsettled, incomplete - screening contraindicated.
Eligible babies (denominator) is the total number of babies born within the reporting period whose mother was registered with a GP practice within the CCG, or (if not registered with any practice) resident within the area covered by the provider NHSP site or CCG area, excluding:, any baby who died before screening could be completed, babies that have not reached 4 weeks corrected age (hospital programmes - well babies, NICU babies) or 5 weeks corrected age (community programmes - well babies) at the time of the report, babies born in England and have had their record transferred electronically to Wales.
Corrected age is used for babies born at <40 weeks gestation. The following babies are included in the denominator but may not be screened by NHSP and therefore not included in the numerator. The following babies should be accounted for and the reason explained in the commentary as mitigations against performance thresholds:, babies who have attained the required age (described above) but whose screening was delayed because they are not well enough, babies who are eligible for screening but were screened by one of the other home countries (Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales), babies born in US Air Force bases England figures have been aggregated from local authority data and exclude women resident in Wales or of unknown local authority
