Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, stability, and outcomes of cry-fuss and sleep problems in the first 2 years of life: prospective community-based study.
Melissa Wake,Melissa Wake,Elise Morton-Allen,Zeffie Poulakis,Harriet Hiscock,Harriet Hiscock,Susan Scavo Gallagher,Frank Oberklaid,Frank Oberklaid +8 more
TL;DR: Persistent cry-fuss problems contribute to maternal depression, parenting stress, and subsequent child behavior problems, and the reverse was true for behavior scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of children with mild-profound congenital hearing loss at 7 to 8 years: A population study
TL;DR: Comprehensive data such as these highlight the continuing plight experienced by hearing-impaired children, and will help evaluate over time whether outcomes for children with hearing loss are improving at a population level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hearing impairment: a population study of age at diagnosis, severity, and language outcomes at 7–8 years
Melissa Wake,Zeffie Poulakis,Elizabeth K. Hughes,Christa L. Carey-Sargeant,Field W. Rickards +4 more
TL;DR: More severe HI, but not later diagnosis, was strongly related to poorer language outcomes at 7–8 years, and adjusted mean CELF and PPVT language scores fell sequentially with increasing severity of HI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slight/Mild Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Children
Melissa Wake,Sherryn Tobin,Barbara Cone-Wesson,Hans Henrik M. Dahl,Lynn Gillam,Lisa McCormick,Zeffie Poulakis,Field W. Rickards,Kerryn Saunders,Obioha C Ukoumunne,Joanne Williams +10 more
TL;DR: There was no strong evidence that slight/mild bilateral sensorineural hearing loss affects adversely language, reading, behavior, or health-related quality of life in children who are otherwise healthy and of normal intelligence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parent-reported health-related quality of life in children with congenital hearing loss: a population study.
TL;DR: Parent-reported psychosocial well-being of 7- to 8-year-old children with hearing loss is poorer than that of their hearing peers, and future studies should determine whether HRQoL has improved after introduction of universal newborn hearing screening.
