Abstract We conducted a one-center, case-controlled study to determine which medical disorders portend entry into out-of-home care. A total of 137 children aged 4 to 14 in local authority care and 126 controls (at home children) matched by health area, age, and sex were studied. The pediatric Primary Care registry was reviewed for the period from May to September 2017. Compared with children at home, those at entry into the care system were significantly more likely to: experience a poisoning; present with bruising; and suffer from tooth decay, psychiatric, or neurological conditions. Conversely, they were significantly less likely to suffer from asthma, abdominal pain, insect stings, or limb injuries. Analysis of medical history helped to identify children at risk of out-of-home placement.

既往病史：进入护理系统时的儿童与在家中的儿童之间的比较

摘要 我们进行了一项单中心、病例对照研究，以确定哪些疾病预示着进入户外护理。共研究了 137 名 4 至 14 岁在地方当局照料的儿童和 126 名对照（在家中的儿童）按健康地区、年龄和性别匹配的儿童。儿科初级保健登记处在 2017 年 5 月至 9 月期间进行了审查。与在家中的儿童相比，进入保健系统的儿童明显更有可能：出现瘀伤；并患有蛀牙、精神疾病或神经系统疾病。相反，他们患哮喘、腹痛、昆虫叮咬或四肢受伤的可能性要小得多。病史分析有助于识别有可能被安置在外的儿童。
