LFU/LTD = Loss to follow-up / Loss to documentation

Data include information about any services that infants born in the calendar year 2021 received through 2022, until time of survey reporting.

Total Screened and LFU/LTD categories do not equal to births reported to EHDI program because there are other reasons for no documented screening not included in this summary (e.g., non-resident/moved out of jurisdiction, medical reasons, transferred/no documentation, etc). Please refer to “2021 Summary of Reasons for No Documented Hearing Screening Among Total Occurrent Births” for more details on no screens.

The number of “Births According to Vital Records” was not available. The number of “Births Reported to EHDI program” was used to populate this field.

αThe program is experiencing data migration challenges, therefore data may not be accurate.

* Percent Screened: (# Screened for Hearing Loss / # Total Occurrent Births Reported to EHDI Program) x 100

Percent Screened based on number of Vital Record Births: (# Screened for Hearing Loss / Total Occurrent Births According to Vital Records) x 100

Percent LFU / LTD among EHDI Births: ((# Contacted but Unresponsive + # Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Occurrent Births Reported to EHDI Program) x 100
