Ambulatory pediatric cochlear implantation: safety, efficacy, and feasibility - first multicentric Moroccan study on 681 children.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveOur aim is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of outpatient cochlear implantation in children. STUDY
designMulticentric retrospective study analyzing 681 children who underwent cochlear implantation from October 2016 to May 2024.
settingEar, Nose, and Throat departments of Mohamed VI Foundation of Sciences and Health, Morocco.
methodsIn this report, we examined the protocol used, anesthetic and surgical techniques, postoperative data and success rate of ambulatory cochlear implant surgery. Data collection included demographic information, surgical and postoperative results.
resultsA total of 721 cochlear implants were performed between October 2016 and May 2024, including 681 in children and 40 in adults. Of these children, 674 were included, of whom 661 (98%) benefited from outpatient surgery and 13 (2%) required overnight hospitalization. Conversion to overnight hospitalization was required for 8 patients who suffered post-operative vomiting, requiring medical management and intravenous infusion, and for 5 patients who suffered post-operative dizziness, requiring in-hospital monitoring. The median age of our patients was 3.7 ± 2.4, with a predominance of males (sex ratio = 1.46) and patients coming from all regions of Morocco. Severe to profound bilateral hearing loss was noted, and in the majority of cases, imaging was normal. Surgeries were performed without major complications, but short-term complications did occur, such as vomiting in 8 patients and vertigo in 5. The satisfaction rate was 100%, the success rate 98% and the failure rate 2%, with no readmissions.
conclusionOur results demonstrate the efficacy and safety of outpatient cochlear implant protocol for pediatric population in our setting.
