Total consumption of health services by schoolchildren in a primary health care district in southern Sweden

Scandinavian Journal of Social Medicine
R Kornfält, G Ejlertsson

Abstract

During one year all consumption of health services by 1147 schoolchildren aged 7-16 years was recorded. The average frequency of visits per child and year was 5.3 to the School Health Clinic, 1.1 to the Community Care Centre and 0.9 to the ambulatories at the hospital. The rate of hospitalization was 0.05. The consultations at the School Health Clinic Show a peak in frequency at 13 years of age and girls predominated. In 40% of the visits to the school nurse no somatic disease corresponding to the complaint could be found and the nurse was clearly being used as a resort by the children in any sort of trouble. Injuries and accidents were the predominant diagnoses in both in- and outpatient care. The high consumption of and need for health services of schoolchildren must be taken into consideration in the overall planning. The School Health Clinic plays an important role for the children and its contributions are underestimated. A part from health surveillance, it provides medical care for many children, but above all support. The key person is the school nurse and she is best placed in the school even if school health services are in future to be integrated in the Health Services of the County Council at the Community Care Centr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
