Abstract

Background: We have shown the coverage of periodic health examinations made in children aged between 0 and 14 years old in Aragón during 1991, comparing with results obtained at national level and results obtained during 1990.<br />Methods: A descriptive transversal study was developed by reviewing clinic records of 9 primary health centers selected by systematic sampling. Sampling consisted on 436 histories.<br />Results: Main results were: age of child in the first visit: 83.5% below 1 month; metabolic disease screening: no data on 31.8%; DTP-polio: no data on 20.9%; triple viric: no data on 24.3%.<br />Conclusions: Obtained data showed better results than those at national level. We should improve the metabolic diseases screening and vaccinations recording system.
