Abstract

AIMS

To measure the prevalence of juvenile spring eruption of the ears in Dunedin primary school aged children. To characterise the population of children affected by juvenile spring eruption in New Zealand.

METHODS

Children attending three primary schools were examined for evidence of clinical and preclinical juvenile spring eruption on a single occasion in the late spring. Ear protuberance, hair cover and other factors related to sun exposure were assessed.

RESULTS

The overall prevalence of clinical juvenile spring eruption was 6.7% (95% confidence interval = 4.7% to 7.5%). The prevalence in males was 12% (95% CI = 7.3% to 17%). Lack of hair cover and protuberant ears (75th percentile or greater) were strongly associated with clinical juvenile spring eruption. There was no evidence of an association between clinical juvenile spring eruption and skin tone, hair colour, time spent outdoors, sunscreen use, and hat use.

CONCLUSION

Juvenile spring eruption is a relatively common dermatological condition among primary school aged children in Dunedin, especially boys.

摘要

目的

测量达尼丁小学适龄儿童耳部青少年春季疹的患病率。描述新西兰受青少年春季疹影响的儿童群体特征。

方法

在晚春时节对三所小学的儿童进行一次检查，以寻找临床和临床前青少年春季疹的证据。评估耳部突出程度、毛发覆盖情况及其他与阳光暴露相关的因素。

结果

临床青少年春季疹的总体患病率为6.7%（95%置信区间 = 4.7%至7.5%）。男性患病率为12%（95%置信区间 = 7.3%至17%）。毛发覆盖不足和耳部突出（第75百分位数或更高）与临床青少年春季疹密切相关。没有证据表明临床青少年春季疹与肤色、头发颜色、户外活动时间、使用防晒霜和戴帽子之间存在关联。
