Medical records were reviewed for the study children. The dates and results of all blood lead, hematocrit and tuberculosis tests were abstracted.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Results</b> Eight hundred and twelve children met the study inclusion criteria. All but two of these children had a hospital medical record available for review. Six hundred and ninety of the 812 children (85.0%) had a documented blood lead test. Of those screened, more than one-quarter (190 of 690; 27.5%) had at least one result ≥ 10 μg/dL. A hematocrit result was documented for 742 of the study children (91.4%), and 377 of these children (50.8%) were anemic on at least one test (defined as a hematocrit two standard deviations below published norms). Two-thirds of study children (536) had documentation of a tuberculosis screen being performed, with two-thirds of these having a documented reading. None of the 342 children with a documented tuberclin skin test reading had a positive test.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Conclusions</b> Screening rates were relatively high in this study group, especially when one considers that the denominator for screening rates was based on enrollment in the practice, regardless of whether or not the child had been seen. The results of these screening tests provide evidence for the high burden of lead poisoning and anemia in this low-income population.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Implications for practice</b> This study demonstrates that it is feasible to carry out assessments based</p>\u0000 <p>on defined primary care responsibilities, allowing for a more population-based approach to health care in hospital-based clinics.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100075,"journal":{"name":"Ambulatory Child Health","volume":"7 1","pages":"3-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1046/j.1467-0658.2001.00100.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80807800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The differences among most children are relatively small, enabling these children to benefit from the general education program. The physical attributes and/or learning abilities of some children, however—those called except ional children—differ from the norm (either below or above) to such an extent that they require an individualized program of special education and related services to fully benefit from education. The term exceptional children includes children who experience difficulties in learning as well as those whose performance is so superior that modifications in curriculum and instruction are necessary to help them fulfill their potential. Thus, exceptional children is an inclusive term that refers to children with learning and/or behavior problems, children with physical disabilities or sensory impairments, and children who are intellectually gifted or have a special talent. The term students with disabilities is more restrictive than exceptional children because it does not include gifted and talented children. Learning the definitions of several related terms will help you better understand the concept of exceptionality.","PeriodicalId":100075,"journal":{"name":"Ambulatory Child Health","volume":"6 4","pages":"286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1467-0658.2000.93-10.pp.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74272960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
