Prevalence of cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and blindness, National Health Interview Survey, 2009-2016.

摘要: Abstract Background Developmental disabilities are present in a significant proportion of US children. Surveillance developmental is crucial for monitoring population trends, guiding research into risk factors, and informing resource allocation. Objective/Hypothesis We examined overall prevalence, prevalence by demographic characteristics, trends over time cerebral palsy (CP), intellectual disability (ID), moderate to severe hearing loss (MSHL), blindness. Methods Data from the 2009–2016 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were analyzed children 3–17 years age. Question wording was consistent except ID, which changed 2011 replace term “mental retardation.” Demographic differences linear (over three periods) assessed Chi-square tests Wald-F tests. Results Prevalence estimates per 1000 ages CP, MSHL, blindness 3.2 (95% CI: 2.7, 3.7), 11.1 10.2, 12.1), 6.4 5.6, 7.2), 1.6 1.3, 2.0), respectively. Disability higher with low birthweight families lower parental education, income ≤200% federal poverty level, public insurance. Older had ID prevalence; boys significantly CP prevalences. Only demonstrated increased trend (p = 0.0002). Conclusions provide nationally representative four disabilities; recent comparable those records-based studies. Prevalences stable after 2010, coincident questionnaire change. A substantial number continue have these service needs.
