Summary: This is a Danish, register-based cohort study following persons with OI and a reference population from the 1st of January 1995 until date of death, date of emigration from Denmark, or the end of follow-up on the 31st of December 2018.
Key Takeaways:
1. 17% of persons with OI are registered with some form of hearing loss and/or treated thereof at a much younger age than the general population.
2. The authors found an increase in incidence of hearing loss with 50% of the OI population, by the age of 75 sufering from hearing loss.
3. Regular follow-up may be needed in the OI population, but further research is needed to evaluate the risk of hearing
loss-related to genotype and clinical severity.
