Absence morbidity significantly underestimates total childhood illness. Children susceptible to infections experienced longer illness durations and more frequent recurrences compared to robust children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Absence morbidity data from crèches may not fully represent actual childhood illness.
  • Understanding the true extent and patterns of childhood morbidity is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare absence morbidity with total morbidity in preschool children.
  • To analyze differences in illness duration and recurrence based on infection susceptibility.

Main Methods:

  • Absence morbidity data were collected from monthly reports in 8 Dresden crèches (1986-1988).
  • Total morbidity was registered using a symptom catalogue over one year.
  • Infection groups were analyzed based on Adam's quarters to assess illness patterns.

Main Results:

  • Total morbidity was more than double the absence morbidity.
  • Average illness days per case were 8.42, while absence morbidity days averaged 7.3.
  • Susceptible children had longer average illness periods (9.33 days) and recurrence periods (15.7 days) compared to robust children (6.82 days and 78.2 days, respectively).

Conclusions:

  • Absence morbidity underestimates the true burden of childhood illness.
  • Children's susceptibility to infections significantly impacts illness duration and recurrence.
  • Further research into factors influencing infection susceptibility is warranted.
