BACKGROUND
Rheumatic heart disease is a major health problem in our country. There is evidence from South India that its prevalence is declining. This study attempts to confirm whether this is so in North India as well.
METHODS AND RESULTS
A total of 118,212 (68,357 males, 49,855 females) schoolchildren in the age group of 4-18 years were examined for the presence of heart disease. Evaluation, including echocardiography, confirmed that of a total of 389 suspected to have heart disease, 61 had rheumatic heart disease. Thus, the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease was found to be approximately 0.5 per 1000 children.
CONCLUSION
In a fairly large school survey conducted by us, the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease turned out to be approximately 0.5 per 1000 children. This is the lowest figure reported from our country so far and confirms the decline of this disease in our country.
背景
风湿性心脏病是我国的一个主要健康问题。来自印度南部的证据表明其患病率正在下降。本研究试图证实印度北部是否也是如此。
方法与结果
对118212名4至18岁的学童（68357名男性，49855名女性）进行了心脏病检查。包括超声心动图在内的评估证实，在总共389名疑似患有心脏病的儿童中，有61名患有风湿性心脏病。因此，发现风湿性心脏病的患病率约为每1000名儿童中有0.5例。
结论
在我们进行的一项相当大规模的学校调查中，风湿性心脏病的患病率约为每1000名儿童中有0.5例。这是我国迄今为止报告的最低数字，并证实了该疾病在我国的下降趋势。
