A few Ear Camps were carried out amongst 25 schools and madrashas of Dhaka City having 10,102 pupils, to see the prevalence of ENT diseases and hearing impairment. A primary screening was done by the Bangladesh Council for Child Welfare (BCCW) with the possibilities of suffering from ear, nose & throat diseases with the help of questionnaire and clinical examination by qualified doctor. The word "Screening" is used in this paper not in the epidemiological sense but to imply primary selection. 1,403 (13.89%) were issued registration card for ENT consultation. Five otolaryngologist, one audiometrician, two ancillary staffs, BCCW workers, local volunteers and school teachers conducted the 3 days long camp. Secondary screening by the otolaryngologists revealed pathology in 1,101 students (10.89%). 26 children (0.26%) were attending schools with severe hearing loss. ENT diseases appeared to be common in urban school children and screened proved to be an efficient method for health care delivery.
在达卡市的25所学校和宗教学校中开展了一些耳部检查活动，这些学校共有10102名学生，目的是了解耳鼻喉疾病和听力障碍的患病率。孟加拉儿童福利委员会（BCCW）借助问卷以及合格医生的临床检查，对可能患有耳鼻喉疾病的学生进行了初步筛查。本文中使用的“筛查”并非流行病学意义上的，而是指初步筛选。1403名学生（13.89%）获得了耳鼻喉科咨询登记卡。五名耳鼻喉科医生、一名听力测定专家、两名辅助工作人员、BCCW工作人员、当地志愿者和学校教师开展了为期三天的检查活动。耳鼻喉科医生进行的二次筛查发现1101名学生（10.89%）存在病变。26名儿童（0.26%）在重度听力损失的情况下仍在上学。耳鼻喉疾病在城市学童中似乎很常见，筛查被证明是一种有效的医疗保健方式。
