Aims • Background • Audit data • Analysis • Take home message
Background • Developed by Archbold et al (2002) • 74 questions and different themes (e.g. communication, process of implantation etc ) • Issues important for parents rather than what professionals feel is important • High test-retest reliability
Audit data POP2- allowed parents to compare outcome of 1CI to both CIs Consortium decided to stop use of POP/POP2 in April 2011
Analysis • Themes extracted after factor analysis education and social adjustment communication family relationships
Analysis cont • Effect of 2nd CI (i.e. improvement attributed to 2nd CI) • Relationship between this improvement and the age of implantation for 2nd CI
My child received benefit from the 2nd CI N=115 Strongly agree Agree Neither agree nor disagree Disagree Strongly disagree
Relationship of benefit & age at implantation of 2nd CI Subjects : included seq children who had 1st CI < 5yrs of age Divided into 3 groups based on age at 2nd CI 1. children who had 2nd CI < 5yrs 2. children had 2nd CI between 5-10 yrs of age 3. children who had 2ndCI between 10-15 yrs of age
My child received benefit from the 2nd CI N 33 68 27 Strongly agree Agree Neither agree nor disagree Disagree Strongly disagree
My child received benefit from the 2nd CI N 33 68 27 Strongly agree Agree Neither agree nor disagree Disagree Strongly disagree
My child received benefit from the 2nd CI N 33 68 27 Strongly agree Agree Neither agree nor disagree Disagree Strongly disagree
Take Home Message • For all themes of POP (communication, family relationships and education & social adjustment) • Children show significant improvement with two CIs compared to one CI • Children who receive 2nd CI before 5 yrs of age do significantly better compared to children who received 2nd CI at 5-10 yrs and 10-15 yrs of age
