Influence of body mass index on variables of brainstem evoked response audiometry in children aged 2-10 year with delayed development of speech attending Bankura Sammilani Medical College

Abstract
Among the various factors that affect brainstem evoked respond audiometry (BERA) test finding. Age and hearing loss with definitive prolongation of absolute peak latencies are well established in BERA. Body mass index (BMI) is very important parameter that influences BERA test variables. Although the correlation of BMI with BERA parameters has been studied recently in various group of population, there is no common consensus on it. This study tried to examine any possible association of body mass index on variables of BERA in children aged 2-10 years with delayed development of speech. This cross-sectional study was conducted in neurophysiology laboratory in the department of Physiology, Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital for one year. Over 600 children were taken from study database. 488 children aged between 2-10 years of either sex were selected from those referred from Pediatric and ENT department with complaint of delayed speech who had been advised BERA test. Unpaired student ‘t’ test was done between the underweight and non-underweight children. The test showed significant changes (p value <0.05) in APL-I, APL-II and APL-III. In underweight children significant correlation were observed between APL-I and V:I ratio with BMI. In non-underweight children APL-V, III-V IPL and V:I ratio significantly correlated with BMI. To conclude, utility of BERA can be optimized by establishing normative data for every setup based on BMI along with age before using it as a clinical tool and needs further elaboration for re-enforcement of this observation.

Key words: BMI, BERA, Children, Delayed speech and language
