During one year, contacts with the health service due to respiratory infections--including diseases of ear, nose, and throat--were studied in the 310 children of Upernavik town. 166 contacts were recorded. Children from low socio-economic groups had been expected to have a higher overall contact rate than other children, but this did not prove to be so. The disease pattern of these children was characterized by a low level of contacts due to certain acute respiratory infections and a high level of contacts due to chronic purulent otitis media, compared with children from higher socio-economic groups. The differences did not reach statistical significance, however.
在一年时间里，对乌佩纳维克镇的310名儿童因呼吸道感染（包括耳、鼻、喉疾病）与医疗服务机构的接触情况进行了研究。记录到166次接触。原本预计社会经济地位较低群体的儿童总体接触率会高于其他儿童，但事实并非如此。与社会经济地位较高群体的儿童相比，这些儿童的疾病模式特点是某些急性呼吸道感染导致的接触率较低，而慢性化脓性中耳炎导致的接触率较高。然而，这些差异未达到统计学显著性。
