Introduction: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the rate of caesarean sections worldwide. In 2018, the cesarean section rate in Peru was 34,5%. It is one of the most common surgeries in the world, despite the complications for mother and newborn. In addition, it is one of the reasons for abnormal results in neonatal hearing screening. Decreased hearing acuity can be disabling, 7,3% of the world's child population suffers from this, putting at risk the development of those affected. That’s why it is important to identify those children at risk to provide them with early diagnosis and timely treatment. Objectives: Evaluate the association between cesarean section delivery and hearing loss development among Peruvian children followed from 2001-2002 during 15 years in the “Young Lives – Niños del Milenio” cohort. Methods: We made a secondary analysis of Peruvian children in the database of "Young Lives – Niños del Milenio". The exposure was being delivered by cesarean section and the outcome was decreased hearing acuity, measured as cumulative incidence in 4 study rounds. Crude and adjusted relative risks (RR) with a 95% CI were calculated using Poisson family generalized linear models (GLM) with robust variances by clusters. Results: 2,052 children were studied, out of these 12,2% were born by cesarean section. The cumulative incidence of decreased hearing acuity was 7,7%. It was found that those children born by caesarean section could have a 34% lower risk of developing reduced hearing acuity (95% CI 0,44-0,99). In addition, it was found that children who weighed 4,000 grams or more at birth could have a 96% higher risk of developing reduced hearing acuity (95% CI 1,24-3,09). No significant association was found between other variables and birth by cesarean section. Conclusion: Cesarean section delivery could be a protective factor for the development of hearing loss, while weighing 4,000 grams or more at birth could be a risk factor.
