Poor attendance at a health centre pre-school child screening clinic (total default rate 41.2 per cent) raises the question of whether selective screening would be a more realistic alternative to comprehensive screening. Furthermore, an analysis of the outcome of screening over one year has shown a low prevalence of abnormalities and underlines the need to justify such programmes as worthwhile screening tests.The most efficient method of detecting child-hood abnormalities at an early a stage as possible remains an open question, but with present financial restrictions and staff shortages, whatever programmes are used, rigorous continuing evaluation is essential.
某健康中心学龄前儿童筛查诊所的就诊率很低（总违约率为41.2%），这就引发了一个问题：选择性筛查是否会是全面筛查更现实的替代方案。此外，对一年筛查结果的分析显示异常情况的发生率较低，并强调有必要证明此类项目作为有价值的筛查测试是合理的。尽早发现儿童期异常情况的最有效方法仍是一个悬而未决的问题，但鉴于目前的资金限制和人员短缺，无论采用何种项目，严格的持续评估都是必不可少的。
