城市儿童的常规哮喘筛查发现8%未诊断,与住房条件差有关。 Routine asthma screening in urban children found 8% undiagnosed, linked to poor housing.

根据美国儿科学会会议提交的一项研究,在2021年至2024年期间,在650名被筛查的儿童中,有8%的儿童被诊断为未诊断的哮喘,在高流行率城市地区进行健康儿童访问时进行例行哮喘筛查。 Routine asthma screening during well-child visits in high-prevalence urban areas identified undiagnosed asthma in 8% of 650 children screened between 2021 and 2024, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting. 三分之二以上未事先诊断的儿童至少有一个风险因素,包括夜间咳嗽、锻炼过程中呼吸困难或事先吸入器使用,约24%有风险因素的儿童接受了诊断。 Over two-thirds of children without prior diagnoses had at least one risk factor, including nighttime coughing, breathing difficulties during exercise, or prior inhaler use, with about 24% of those with risk factors receiving a diagnosis. 恶劣的住房条件——如霉菌、害虫、剥皮涂料和漏水——在受影响儿童中很常见,占未诊断病例的52%和被诊断病例的38%。 Poor housing conditions—such as mold, pests, peeling paint, and water leaks—were common among affected children, present in 52% of undiagnosed cases and 38% of diagnosed ones. 研究人员强调,通过例行检查早期发现,加上处理环境触发因素,可以改善结果,缩小健康差距,特别是在脆弱社区。 Researchers emphasize that early detection through routine screening, combined with addressing environmental triggers, can improve outcomes and reduce health disparities, especially in vulnerable communities. 调查结果是初步的,等待同行评审公布。 Findings are preliminary and await peer-reviewed publication.
