Trial Outcomes & Findings for Observation of Benefits for Patients Implanted With a Hearing Implant of the Company Cochlear (NCT NCT02004353)

NCT ID: NCT02004353

Last Updated: 2021-11-08

Results Overview

A scale from 0 to 10 is used, where 0 represents "can not hear at all" and 10 "hear perfectly". The change from baseline to post-implant at 1 year is presented. A positive value indicates improved hearing, a negative value indicates impaired hearing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (i.e. pre-implanted status, prior to 1st switch-on) and post-implant at 1 year

Population: For all devices with 50 or more participants with baseline data, analysis of the SSQ data was performed.

A scale from 0 to 10 is used, where 0 represents "can not hear at all" and 10 "hear perfectly". The change from baseline to post-implant at 1 year is presented. A positive value indicates improved hearing, a negative value indicates impaired hearing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (i.e. pre-implanted status, prior to 1st switch-on) and post-implant at 3 years

Population: For all devices with 50 or more participants with baseline data, analysis of the SSQ data was performed.There were too few Baha participants at years 3 to conduct a statistical analysis.

A scale from 0 to 10 is used, where 0 represents "can not hear at all" and 10 "hear perfectly". The change from baseline to post-implant at 3 years is presented. A positive value indicates improved hearing, a negative value indicates impaired hearing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (i.e. pre-implanted status, prior to 1st switch-on) and post-implant at 1 year

Population: For all devices with 50 or more participants with baseline data, analysis of the HUI3 data was performed.

A health utility value of 1.00 indicates perfect health while a score of 0.00 indicates death. The change from baseline to post-implant at 1 year is presented. A positive value indicates an improved quality of life, a negative value indicates impaired quality of life.
