Data Notes

LFU/LTD = Loss to Follow-up / Loss to Documentation

Overall Percent LFU / LTD: ((# Contacted but Unresponsive + # Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Occurrent Births) * 100

Percent LFU / LTD: ((# Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Occurrent Births) * 100

§ Percent Unresponsive: (# Contacted but Unresponsive / # Total Occurrent Births) * 100

^ Jurisdiction reported using revised “Parents/Family Contacted but Unresponsive” definition. Refer to 2019 Hearing Screening and Follow-up Survey Explanations document pages 6-7 for both “Old” and “Revised” Unresponsive definitions.

In many regions the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the delivery of health care services in 2020, including newborn hearing screening and follow-up services. As a result, infants born in late 2019 and needing hearing screening and/or follow-up services in 2020 may have had difficulties obtaining these services.
