This study evaluated the benefit of consulting a statewide immunization registry for inner-city infants whose immunizations appeared, after single-site chart review, to have been delayed.
We prospectively enrolled 315 newborns in 3 inner-city pediatric clinics. When the infants turned 7 months old, we obtained immunization data from clinic charts and the state registry.
On the basis of chart review, 147 infants (47%) were assessed to be delayed in their immunizations; of these, registry data revealed that 28 (19%) had received additional immunizations and 15 (10%) were actually up to date.
A statewide registry can capture immunizations from multiple sources, improving accurate determination of immunization rates in a mobile, inner-city population.
本研究评估了为市中心区婴儿查询全州免疫登记系统的益处，这些婴儿经单站点图表审查后，其免疫接种似乎有所延迟。
我们前瞻性地纳入了3家市中心区儿科诊所的315名新生儿。当婴儿满7个月时，我们从诊所图表和州登记系统中获取免疫接种数据。
根据图表审查，147名婴儿（47%）被评估为免疫接种延迟；在这些婴儿中，登记系统数据显示，28名（19%）接受了额外的免疫接种，15名（10%）实际上免疫接种是及时的。
全州登记系统可以从多个来源获取免疫接种信息，有助于更准确地确定流动的市中心区人群的免疫接种率。
