该报告评估了撒哈拉以南非洲城市地区对儿科外科护理的需求。 1997 年 1 月至 12 月，有 741 名儿童因手术问题接受治疗。最常见的手术问题是损伤（67.1%）、先天性异常（15.0%）和手术感染（6.7%）。 46% 出现外科问题的儿童需要进行外科手术，其中 68.2% 属于轻微问题。所有手术病症的年就诊率为每 10 000 名 0-14 岁儿童 543 例。到 15 岁时，所有手术疾病的累积风险估计为 85.4%。我们的数据表明，手术疾病通常影响生活在班珠尔的儿童。外科护理应成为发展中国家儿童健康计划的重要组成部分。
The report evaluates the need for paediatric surgical care in an urban area of sub-Saharan Africa. Seven hundred and forty-one children were treated for surgical problems from January through December 1997. The most common surgical problems were injuries (67.1%), congenital anomalies (15.0%) and surgical infections (6.7%). Forty-six per cent of children presenting with a surgical problem required a surgical procedure, 68.2% of which were classified as minor. The annual presentation rate for all surgical conditions was 543 per 10 000 children aged 0-14 years. The estimated cumulative risk for all surgical conditions is 85.4% by age 15 years.Our data suggest surgical diseases commonly affect children living in Banjul. Surgical care should be an essential component of child health programmes in developing countries.
