To compare levels of anxiety of children with chronic illness with healthy peers and population norms. Meta-analysis integrated results from 332 studies. Children with chronic illness had elevated levels of anxiety (d=0.18 standard deviation units). Strongest elevations were found for chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine/tension headache, sensory impairment and epilepsy. Paediatricians should screen for anxiety symptoms in children at risk and offer interventions, if needed.
比较慢性病患儿与健康同龄儿和普通人群的焦虑水平。元分析综合了 332 项研究的结果。慢性病患儿的焦虑水平升高（d=0.18 个标准差单位）。在慢性疲劳综合征、偏头痛/紧张性头痛、感觉障碍和癫痫中发现了最强的升高。儿科医生应在有风险的患儿中筛查焦虑症状，并在必要时提供干预措施。
