摘要

BACKGROUND: Many health conditions have been described in children with Down syndrome (DS). However, there are little comparative population-based data available. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESES: We sought to examine the health impacts associated with DS and other disabling conditions in U.S. children included in the 2005-2006 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. METHODS: We assessed numerous health and functional outcomes in children with DS and without DS but with (1) mental retardation/developmental delay(1) and another developmental disability associated with a high functional impact; (2) mental retardation/developmental delay but no co-occurring high-impact disability; (3) other special health care needs; and (4) no special health care needs (referent). RESULTS: Children with DS and in all 3 special health care needs comparison groups had substantially more health and functional difficulties than did the referent sample. Overall, children with DS were fairly comparable to children in the other mental retardation/developmental delay groups on health indicators; however, young children with DS were more likely than young children in both other mental retardation and swallowing/digestion/metabolism. Children with both DS and mental retardation associated with another high-impact disability had the highest levels of functional difficulties, unmet health needs, and family financial impacts. Nearly 60% of families in both groups provided home health care; in over 40%, a family member stopped working because of the child's condition; and about 40% reported the child's condition caused financial problems. CONCLUSIONS: Children with DS can have substantial health and functional difficulties, with numerous financial impacts on their families.
