Abstract

Renal abnormalities are commonly considered in the work up of pediatric patients with external ear malformations. However, there is little consensus regarding an appropriate renal screening protocol for patients with microtia. We sought to characterize renal abnormalities detected on ultrasonography in pediatric patients with microtia. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients diagnosed with microtia who underwent renal ultrasound from 1991 to 2014 at a single tertiary academic institution. Renal ultrasound reports and medical records were reviewed to assess for renal abnormalities and to determine whether patients required specialist follow-up or interventions. Audiograms and otolaryngology notes were used to determine patterns of hearing loss. The following additional information was recorded from the electronic medical records: patient sex, microtia grade (I-IV), microtia laterality, and known associated syndromes. Characteristics were compared between those who did and did not have renal ultrasound findings using Fisher's exact test. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with renal ultrasound findings. The majority of patients in this cohort were syndromi...Continue Reading
