Health screening has been shown to have beneficial effects on health outcomes in adults with intellectual disability. However, the nature of the population, which makes it difficult to recruit, has meant past studies have been relatively small and effect estimates unstable. This study conducted a pooled analysis of two randomised trials and one cohort study, containing a total of 795 participants. Use of a simple, low-cost screening tool produced substantial increases in health-promotion and disease-prevention activity, when compared with usual care.
健康筛查已被证明对智力残疾成年人的健康结果有有益影响。然而,由于该人群难以招募,过去的研究相对较小,效果估计也不稳定。本研究对两项随机试验和一项队列研究进行了汇总分析,共纳入了 795 名参与者。与常规护理相比,使用简单、低成本的筛查工具可大幅增加促进健康和预防疾病的活动。
