Purpose We sought to critically analyze and evaluate published evidence regarding feasibility and clinical potential for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes of the frequency-following responses (FFRs) to speech recordings in neonates (birth to 28 days). Method A systematic search of MeSH terms in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied HealthLiterature, Embase, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline (R) and E-Pub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations and Daily, Web of Science, SCOPUS, COCHRANE Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed. Manual review of all items identified in the search was performed by two independent reviewers. Articles were evaluated based on the level of methodological quality and evidence according to the RTI item bank. Results Seven articles met inclusion criteria. None of the included studies reported neurodevelopmental outcomes past 3 months of age. Quality of the evidence ranged from moderate to high. Protocol variations were frequent. Conclusions Based on this systematic review, the FFR to speech can capture both temporal and spectral acoustic features in neonates. It can accurately be recorded in a fast and easy manner at the infant's bedside. However, at this time, further studies are needed to identify and validate which FFR features could be incorporated as an addition to standard evaluation of infant sound processing evaluation in subcortico-cortical networks. This review identifies the need for further research focused on identifying specific features of the neonatal FFRs, those with predictive value for early childhood outcomes to help guide targeted early speech and hearing interventions.

Abstract Parechovirus-A (PeV-A) and Enterovirus (EV) commonly cause childhood aseptic meningitis. Bacterial meningitis in children has been associated with devastating long-term sequelae. However, developmental outcomes are unclear in Parechovirus meningitis. This study aims to review the clinical findings and developmental outcomes of infants with PeV-A and EV meningitis. We performed a retrospective study of infants aged 90 days or younger being admitted to our hospital with PeV-A meningitis between November 2015 and July 2017, with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PeV-A PCR and negative blood and CSF bacterial cultures. Hearing and neurodevelopmental outcomes were compared with a previous cohort of infants aged 90 days or younger with EV meningitis admitted from January 2015 to December 2015. A total of 161 infants were included in our study, of which 68 infants (42.2%) had PeV-A meningitis and 93 infants (57.8%) had EV meningitis. We assessed their developmental outcome at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-meningitis. At 2 years post-meningitis, three infants with PeV-A meningitis had developmental delay (5.5%), whereas none with EV meningitis had developmental delay. One patient had speech delay and autism spectrum disorder, while two had mild speech delay. When compared with our cohort of EV meningitis ≤90 days old, children with PeV-A meningitis ≤90 days old were more likely to have developmental delay 2 years post-meningitis (odds ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 2.0–3.0, p = 0.043). None of the patients with PeV-A or EV meningitis had sensorineural hearing loss or neurological sequelae, such as cortical blindness, oropharyngeal dysphagia, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, or cerebral palsy. Infants with PeV-A meningitis had a significant risk of developmental delay 2 years post-meningitis compared with those with EV meningitis. It is important to follow-up the developmental milestones of infants diagnosed with PeV-A meningitis for at least 2 years; and when they develop developmental delay, to ensure that they receive appropriate intervention.
