Research on the tabular condition assessment system in the application of early warning of severe hand, foot and mouth disease

Abstract

Objective To explore the tabular condition assessment methods in the role of early warning of children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease. Methods A total of 267 patients in observation group were evaluated by the disease assessment scale of hospitalized children with hand, foot and mouth disease and the risk assessment form of severe children with hand, foot and mouth disease to early indentify the severe and give intervention treatment. And the 243 patients in control group were evaluated by the empirical method. The incidence of severe cases and the incidence of complications were compared between two groups. Results The incidence of severe cases was 3.00%(8/267) in observation group and 17.70% (43/243) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups,χ2=30.970, P<0.01. The incidence of total complications was 9.74%(26/267) in observation group and 32.51%(79/243)in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups, χ2=34.74, P<0.01. Conclusions The tabular condition evaluation method can early identify the children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease and give early intervention, reduce the incidence of severe and critical cases, and reduce the complications.
