Low hospital admission rates for respiratory diseases in children

Abstract: BackgroundPopulation-based data on hospital admissions for children aged 0-17 years concerning all respiratory diseases are scarce. This study examined hospital admissions in relation to the preceding consultations in general practice in this age group.MethodsData on children aged 0-17 years with respiratory diseases included in the Second Dutch National Survey of General Practice (DNSGP-2) were linked to all hospital admissions in the Dutch National Medical Registration.

“…Uijen et al. (21) reported very low hospital admission rates for children in the general population with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, which makes this outcome measure less suitable for effectiveness studies in a primary care setting. This was also true in our two cohorts, and therefore, in this study, we had to combine data from the two different studies.…”

“…For example, Europe has a pneumonia incidence of 0.03 per child-year with 1.4% of the global mortality. However, pediatric respiratory tract infections still represent a significant part of each country’s childhood morbidity in both the developing and the developed world: in Nigeria, 44% of pediatric hospital admissions are due to LRTIs ( 5 ), whereas in continental Europe, 9% of admitted children present LRTI ( 6 ). Non-fatal morbidity and pneumonia severity are driven by complications including pleural effusions (from 1 to 16% of pediatric pneumonia cases admitted to EDs) ( 7 9 ), empyema (4%) ( 8 ), and necrotizing pneumonia (0.8%) ( 10 ).…”
