[Therapeutic and prophylactic care of disabled children under conditions of a pediatric outpatient clinic].

Abstract

The volume and type of treatment and prophylactic care rendered on an outpatient basis to children during a year is assessed based on a sampling from files of 2083 disabled children living in a large industrial city Ufa. In contrast to the entire population of children, each disabled child receives more visits from doctors at home and visits the health center more often. The majority of visits to the health center are for treatment and diagnosis and for consultations. Local doctors are visited mainly for prevention. The activity of local nurses responsible for follow-up of disabled children is low.
