Among a retrospective cohort of 65 786 outpatient encounters for children >3 years with acute respiratory tract infection at an academic institution in 2023, 38 790 (59%) had a rapid group A streptococcal (GAS) test ordered. Testing rates differed significantly by race, ethnicity, insurance type, social vulnerability index, visit location, and clinician type, and children in historically underserved and socially vulnerable groups were less likely to undergo GAS testing compared to their social counterparts.
在2023年一家学术机构针对3岁以上患有急性呼吸道感染的儿童进行的65786次门诊回顾性队列研究中，38790例（59%）接受了A组链球菌（GAS）快速检测。检测率在种族、族裔、保险类型、社会脆弱性指数、就诊地点和临床医生类型方面存在显著差异，与社会背景相同的儿童相比，历史上服务不足和社会脆弱群体中的儿童接受GAS检测的可能性较小。
