This paper reports a study of the school medical records of 790 children, aged 5-6 years, first screened in 1980. Sixty-six per cent of the parents of children who were notified of an abnormality in their child were followed up to determine subsequent action. Although a complete physical examination had been performed, 87% of all notified abnormalities involved vision (including squint), hearing and dental problems. The prevalence rate of previously unknown health problems (excluding dental problems) confirmed by another health professional was 5%. This rate was lowered to 2% when only children with moderate or severe problems presently receiving treatment were included. Some of the practical problems and importance of screening are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":75574,"journal":{"name":"Australian paediatric journal","volume":"21 3","pages":"159-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15174284","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}
