To describe the incidence of hospital admission among children in the Scottish population for Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP).
The annual, quarterly and monthly incidences of HSP were derived from routinely collected data for Scotland from 1995 to 2007.
Annual incidences of childhood cases of HSP in Scotland ranged from 20.3 to 26.7 per 100,000 of the child population over 1995-2007. Quarterly rates were highest in winter and lowest in summer. Monthly rates were highest in the months between December and March and consistently low in July and August.
The annual incidence of childhood HSP in Scotland appears high compared with rates reported in other countries, and the results demonstrate a seasonal pattern. Health professionals should be aware of the symptoms, and of the best treatments and care available. Further research is needed to gain a better understanding of this disease, as the aetiology remains unknown and there are no clear evidence-based treatments or interventions.
描述苏格兰儿童人群中过敏性紫癜（HSP）的住院发病率。
HSP的年度、季度和月度发病率来自1995年至2007年苏格兰常规收集的数据。
1995 - 2007年期间，苏格兰儿童HSP病例的年发病率为每10万名儿童人口20.3至26.7例。季度发病率冬季最高，夏季最低。月度发病率在12月至3月期间最高，7月和8月持续较低。
与其他国家报告的发病率相比，苏格兰儿童HSP的年发病率似乎较高，结果显示出季节性模式。卫生专业人员应了解其症状以及可用的最佳治疗和护理方法。由于病因仍不明且尚无明确的循证治疗或干预措施，因此需要进一步研究以更好地了解这种疾病。
