Hospital service utilisation and treatment costs before and after cochlear implantation in adults with hearing loss: a retrospective cohort study
Adults aged ≥65 years, with comorbidities, fall-related injuries and mental health disorders faced higher hospitalisation. Adults encountered higher treatment costs pre-implantation, but these costs decreased post-implant. This suggests a need for tailored pre- and post-operative care strategies to mitigate risks and manage costs effectively.
