Health service use, health outcomes and treatment costs of adults with a cochlear implant: a retrospective cohort study
Adults with multimorbidity used more hospital-based services or incurred large treatment costs. Early detection and treatment of comorbidities and long-term post-cochlear implant follow-up to identify any potential complications may reduce unplanned hospitalisations, adverse health outcomes, and associated hospital utilisation costs.
