Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and one of the most common causes for acute admission to hospital. There appears to be an increase in prevalence over the last decade, and certainly asthma is a feature of day-to-day general practice. For some time we have felt in our practice that the standard of care received by children referred, either acutely or to outpatients, was substandard, with inappropriate interventions or lack of appropriate interventions being performed. In order to examine the validity of these sentiments, an audit of the primary/secondary care interface was performed on children the ages of 1-6 years inclusive, registered with the practice on 1 October 1993.
哮喘是儿童期最常见的慢性疾病，也是急性入院最常见的原因之一。在过去十年中，哮喘的患病率似乎有所上升，而且它无疑是日常全科医疗中的一个特征。一段时间以来，我们在实践中感觉，无论是急性转诊还是门诊转诊的儿童所接受的护理标准都不合格，存在不适当的干预措施或缺乏适当的干预措施的情况。为了检验这些观点的正确性，我们对1993年10月1日在本诊所注册的1至6岁（含1岁和6岁）儿童的初级/二级医疗衔接情况进行了一次审核。
