| ABSTRACT |
|
South Korea has about 450 thousand neonates every year. Korea has very low birth rate and the fertility rate is the lowest in the world.
Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare (KMHW) has been supported newborn hearing screening system since 2007. The aim of this
study is to explain Korean NHS system and investigate the results of national NHS through 2009 to 2013 (5 years). In 2007 and 2008,
the 1st and 2nd area based national exhibition NHS projects were implemented. The 3rd national NHS project for low income babies
has been conducted in all area from 2009 to now. From 2009, we adopted a coupon system to follow the screening babies. A free coupon
is issued to pregnant women at the public health center. The babies born at the small women’s clinic can visit any general hospital
within 30 days for screening test. The referred babies from any listed screening clinics also can visit any hospital where confirming test
is available within 90 days after birth. The collected coupons from each institute were sent to the Ministry of Health and Welfare to get
reimbursement. By analyzing coupons, a tracking of baby will be possible. The Average hearing loss rate of total babies in this study was
about 4.3 per 1,000 babies (> 40 dB HL) and average referral rate was 1.4%. We have been tried for KMHW to support all newborn NHS
and organized expert group for NHS, produced clinical guideline of NHS in 2010 and opened on-line education site for screener in 2013.
