The implantation rates from 2003 to 2016, per 100,000 enrollees, increased from 1.64 to 6.82 for patients 60-79 years of age, and 0 to 11.57 for patients greater than 80 years of age (p  less then  0.001). No significant differences in 30-day complication rates were found between patients when grouped by age in decades, except for device related problems, which was significantly higher in younger patients ( less then 18 years). CONCLUSION Over the past decade and a half, cochlear implantation is more frequently being performed, and in an increasingly aging population. This trend does not seem to alter the risk of perioperative complications.OBJECTIVE USH2A-related disorders are characterised by genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, and are associated with a spectrum of sensory deficits, ranging from deaf blindness to blindness with normal hearing. It has been previously proposed that the presence of specific USH2A alleles can be predictive of unaffected hearing. This study reports the clinical and genetic findings in a group of patients with USH2A-related disease and evaluates the validity of the allelic hierarchy model. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION USH2A variants from 27 adults with syndromic and nonsyndromic USH2A-related disease were analyzed according to a previously reported model of allelic hierarchy. The analysis was replicated on genotype-phenotype correlation information from 197 individuals previously reported in 2 external datasets. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Genotype-phenotype correlations in USH2A-related disease. RESULTS A valid allelic hierarchy model was observed in 93% of individuals with nonsyndromic USH2A-retinopathy (n = 14/15) and in 100% of patients with classic Usher syndrome type IIa (n = 8/8). Furthermore, when two large external cohorts of cases were combined, the all
