摘要

The Australian approach to dealing with acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people makes an interesting case study. Prior to the mid-1990s, there had been a few publications, largely based on hospital series or individual community experience that hinted at an enormous issue in remote Aboriginal communities of northern Australia. The year 1996 saw the publication of the first population-based data, from the Northern Territory, documenting the highest rates in the world of ARF and among the highest in the world of RHD, in the Aboriginal population.1 Simple epidemiological analyses confirmed two obvious factors contributing to these high rates: recurrences represented more than 40% of all ARF episodes (highlighting poor delivery of benzathine penicillin G secondary prophylaxis injections); and approximately 40% of patients with RHD presented with no prior history of ARF (highlighting poor mechanisms to diagnose ARF and enter people into prevention programs in the first place). Researchers at the Menzies School of Health Research worked with colleagues in the NT Department of Health to develop a strategy based on a World Health Organization recipe for RHD control - establishment of register-based RHD control programs. A proposal was made to the Commonwealth Government, some money was cobbled together from various pots, and the Top End RHD Control Program was born in 1997.
