1989年5月1日，根据大岛分类法，冲绳县6-15岁严重精神和身体残疾儿童（SDC）的患病率为0.74/1000（143/192038），而根据文部省分类法，经过微小修改，患病率为0.89/1000（170/192038）。大岛SDC地区分类1、2、3和4级的儿童人数分别为100、34、6和3。根据两种分类的SDC总数之间的差异（n = 27），主要是因为21名儿童被归类为“走路的支持”谁被列入SDC根据教育部的分类，但不作为SDC根据大岛的分类。只有大岛分类的地区类1与文部省分类的地区类25相对应。本研究的结果表明，两种SDC定义之间的差异影响SDC的报告患病率。因此，应通过在每个地区使用相同方法的系列调查来评估SDC患病率的变化模式。
The prevalence rate of severely mentally and physically disabled children (SDC) aged 6–15 years in Okinawa prefecture on 1 May 1989 was 0.74/1000 (143/192 038) according to Oshima's classification, compared with 0.89/1000 (170/192 038) according to the Ministry of Education's classification with minor modifications. The number of children in region classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Oshima's classification for SDC were 100, 34, 6 and 3, respectively. The difference (n = 27) between the total numbers of SDC according to the two classifications was mainly because of 21 children categorized as ‘walking with support’ who were included as SDC according to the Ministry of Education's classification but not as SDC according to Oshima's classification. Only region class 1 of Oshima's classification corresponded with region class 25 of the Ministry of Education's classification. The results of the present study indicate that the differences between the two definitions of SDC affect the reported prevalence rates of SDC. Therefore, changing patterns in the prevalence of SDC should be assessed by serial surveys using the same method in each district.
