Chronic illness in childhood: a regional survey of care.

Patterns of care provided by primary physicians for children with chronic physician illnesses are examined. Pratices of pediatricians are compared with those of general practitioners in a ten-county region in Upstate New York. Data collected from 82 physicians surveyed in nine rural counties and one urban area indicate that, on the average, 7.4% of all children seen annually have one or more chronic conditions. Most such children are referred to subspecialists for part or all of their care; the frequency of referral, however, depends chiefly on the nature of the disorder. Primary responsiblity for the broader aspects of care is more often assumed by rural than urban physicians and more often by general practitioners than pediatricians. Nevertheless, mental, social, and some technical services are generally underutilized by groups of primary physicians.

Factors associated with the development of asthma and hay fever in children: the possible risks of hospitalization, surgery, and anesthesia.

The clinical impression of an allergist that early surgery increases the risk for developing asthma or hayfever was followed up by three studies. First, 115 children with pyloric stenosis were followed up and showed above-average prevalence figures. Second, 47 boys with hernia repairs were followed with similar results. Thirdly, 202 children reporting asthma or hay fever were studied for early hospitalizations. They reported more hospitalizations under the age of 2 than did a control group.
