Paediatric percutaneous bone anchored hearing aid implant failures: Comparing the experience of a tertiary centre with a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.

Factors contributing to the lower-than-expected failure rates in the case series likely included consistent use of 4 mm fixtures from a single manufacturer and older age at implantation. The study underscores the need for standardised reporting formats in bone conduction implants research, given the systematic review's limitations in study design heterogeneity, especially with the expected rise in the adoption of novel active devices.
