Abstract

Background: A high prevalence of congenital hearing loss in Indonesia indicates the requirement of a study identifying potential maternal risk commonly associated with congenital hearing loss. Objective: To identify history of medicine use during pregnancy of mothers whose children with congenital hearing loss. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a questionnaire collected during an interview was conducted retrospectively. Based on our sample size calculation and quota sampling methods, we included 535 mothers who had children with congenital hearing loss visiting 24 hospitals across 17 provinces in Indonesia. Results: Most of the respondents are middle-aged women at between the age of 30 and 39 years old (55%) with the age average of 34.1 year. Most of them were housewives (71.8%) and had a high school education (52.5%). Out of 535 respondents, 68 women (12.7%) took medicine during pregnancy which mostly were analgesics (6.9%), followed by anti-hypertension medicine (3.2%) and herbals (1.5%). Conclusion: Most mothers who had children with congenital hearing loss have taken analgesics during their pregnancy. A high-quality cohort study assessing history of medication use during pregnancy and other potential factors as risks for congenital hearing loss is required.
