We reviewed the outpatient medical records of 265 homeless children less than 5 years of age in New York City and compared them with children of similar low socioeconomic status (SES) attending the same pediatric clinic. The frequency of health problems among the homeless children, including delayed immunizations, elevated blood lead levels, the rate of admission to hospital, and the rate of child abuse and neglect reports, exceeded those for the comparison groups.
我们查阅了纽约市265名5岁以下无家可归儿童的门诊病历,并将其与在同一家儿科诊所就诊的社会经济地位(SES)相似的低收入儿童进行了比较。无家可归儿童的健康问题发生率,包括免疫接种延迟、血铅水平升高、住院率以及虐待和忽视儿童报告率,均高于对照组。
