title: [The study of auditory performance of prelingual deaf cochlear implant recipients using Chinese version of categories of auditory performance].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Applying Chinese version of categories of auditory performance (CAP) to assess cochlear implant (CI) recipients of prelingual deaf and test the reliability of Chinese version of CAP.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty CI recipients of prelingual deaf were interviewed by a parent and a speech therapist using Chinese version of CAP. Kappa coefficient analysis was applied to test the reliability of Chinese version of CAP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thirty-five of 50 cases (70%) were found completely coincident, 12 cases (24%) were one category different, 3 cases (6%) were 2 categories different. Kappa coefficient was 0.624.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Chinese version of CAP was found reliable and useful to evaluate auditory performance of prelingual deaf pediatric after cochlear implantation.
