[Coefficients between TEOAEs and DPOAEs in infants].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the coefficients of TEOAEs and DPOAEs based on various pass/fail criteria.


METHODS
Thirty-six Australia infants were tested (age range: 1-6 months) using both TEOAE and DPOAE. Cohen's Kappa (K) were used to analyze different criteria.


RESULTS
There is a significant low agreement in the screening outcomes between TEOAEs and DPOAEs, and different criteria for TEOAEs.


CONCLUSIONS
The findings from the study of coefficients among commonly used screening pass/fail criteria suggested that there is no simple relationship among them. The possible reasons for weak agreement were discussed.
