A survey of children under 5 in an urban practice has been described and the means of detection of developmental abnormalities identified. It was found that 81% were queried by nonclinic means and only one child out of 150 had a minor abnormality which might otherwise have gone undetected if not seen at a screening clinic. These developmental screening clinics are expensive to run and yield very little return.
有人描述了对城市医疗机构中5岁以下儿童的一项调查,并确定了检测发育异常的方法。结果发现,81%的儿童是通过非诊所方式被询问的,在150名儿童中只有一名有轻微异常,如果不是在筛查诊所就诊,这种异常可能就不会被发现。这些发育筛查诊所运营成本高昂,收益却微乎其微。
