The effect and cost of nursing follow-up services on school dental screening outcomes were investigated. Experimental and control groups were randomly assigned. A positive difference in dental visit rate occurred for all nurses, with the overall dentist visit-no visit, experimental-control odds ratio being 1.64 (95% CL = 1.15, 2.35). The service averaged 27.7 minutes and $8.92 per family contacted, suggesting that nursing follow-up increased dental care utilization after screening at low cost in this population.
研究了护理随访服务对学校牙科筛查结果的效果和成本。随机分配实验组和对照组。所有护士的看牙率均出现了正向差异，总体牙医就诊-未就诊情况，实验组与对照组的优势比为1.64（95%置信区间=1.15, 2.35）。该服务平均每次联系家庭用时27.7分钟，费用为8.92美元，这表明在该人群中，护理随访以低成本增加了筛查后的牙科护理利用率。
