Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials with Speech Stimulus in 21 Brazilian Neonates

21 Brazilian neonates with a mean age of 9 days and normal hearing were evaluated. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded using a speech stimulus (/da/ syllable) at 80 dBNA, with latencies and amplitudes analyzed for multiple waves. The dataset was created by Elaine Soares Monteiro Pinto and is available via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Establishing normative baselines for auditory evoked potentials based on the described latencies and amplitudes.
• Analyzing wave morphology and response rates for different components (e.g., Waves A-F, O) in neonates.
• Comparing subcortical auditory processing between neonates and adults based on the latency and amplitude variations mentioned.

Strengths

• Includes data from 21 neonates with a 100% response rate for the transient portion waves (I, III, V, A).
• Provides specific response rates for sustained portion waves, such as 96.87% for Wave E and 53.12% for Wave B.
• Reports concrete latency ranges from less than 10 ms for transient waves to 11.51–52.16 ms for sustained waves.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single study population of Brazilian neonates.
