Univariate analysis of the CLMM for CAP score in PLSND children with CWMLs. Univariate analysis identified 11 potential prognostic factors, including household per capita annual income, aided sound field thresholds in the better ear, duration of preimplantation hearing aid use, age at implantation, preimplantation Z score, Scheltens score, preimplantation CAP score, preimplantation SIR score, evaluation time (rehabilitation duration), cesarean section, and rehabilitation facility. The dark blue variables to the left of the zero line represent candidate risk factors, while the dark red variables to the right of the zero line represent candidate protective factors. β, the regression coefficient; .L, the linear term of this ordinal variable; ASSR, auditory steady-state response; CAP, Categories of Auditory Performance; SIR, Speech Intelligibility Rating; C1–C4, cochlear implantation center pseudonyms; R1-R10, rehabilitation facility pseudonyms. CLMM, cumulative link mixed models; PLSND, prelingual sensorineural deafness; CWMLs, cerebral white matter lesions. ˙p < 0.1, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
