Life table methods were applied to analyses of longitudinal data on the use of medical care during the first 5 years of life among all 1701 children born in a Swedish semirural municipality. Cumulative proportions of the children who had used particular types of medical care or prescription drugs at least once by certain ages were estimated. By the fifth birthday, 98% had made at least one visit to any physician and 82% at least one visit to a paediatrician. By the fifth birthday at least one prescription for antibiotics had been purchased at a pharmacy by 82%; and 33% had been admitted to inpatient hospital care at least once (excluding immediate postnatal care). Acute conditions and more chronic diseases were also studied using these methods. At least one visit to a physician at a primary health care centre had been made for acute otitis media in 65% of 5 year olds and for atopic dermatitis in 8%.
生命表方法被应用于对瑞典一个半农村市镇出生的1701名儿童生命最初5年期间医疗保健使用情况的纵向数据分析。估计了在特定年龄至少使用过一次特定类型医疗保健或处方药的儿童的累积比例。到五岁生日时,98%的儿童至少看过一次医生,82%的儿童至少看过一次儿科医生。到五岁生日时,82%的儿童在药房至少购买过一次抗生素处方;33%的儿童至少有一次住院治疗(不包括出生后立即进行的护理)。还使用这些方法对急性病症和更多慢性疾病进行了研究。65%的五岁儿童因急性中耳炎至少到初级卫生保健中心看过一次医生,8%的儿童因特应性皮炎看过医生。
