EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HEADACHE AND CHILDHOOD MIGRAINE IN AN URBAN GENERAL PRACTICE USING AD HOC, VAHLQUIST AND IHS CRITERIA

Mortimer, M. J., Kay, J., Jaron, A.·1992·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: In a survey conducted by a UK urban general practice, 98·1 per cent (1083) of the children registered aged three to 11 years took part in an interview. Possible migraine subjects took part in an extended interview, the results of which were recorded using three different sets of diagnostic criteria: Vahlquist, Ad Hoc and International Headache Society. The prevalence of migraine ranged from 3·7 to 4·9 per cent, depending on the criteria used. The prevalence of migraine with aura (1·5 per cent) was similar by all criteria, whereas that for migraine without aura ranged from 2·2 to 3·4 per cent. The prevalence of migraine increased with age. The IHS criteria appeared less sensitive than the Ad Hoc for migraine without aura. Operational criteria using three attacks lasting longer than one hour may be more specific for the diagnosis of migraine in young children. RÉSUMÉ: Epidémiologie des maux de tête et migraine de l'enfance dans la pratique urbaine génerale, utilisant les critères Ad Hoc, Vahlquist et IHS Dans une étude de pratique générale au Royaume Uni, 98·1 pour cent (1083) des enfants recencés de trois à 11 ans prirent part aux entretiens. Les sujets exposés a la migraine bénéficièrent d'entretiens plus apprafondis dont les résultats furent enregistrés selon trois ensembles de critères diagnostiques: Valhlquist, Ad Hoc et l'International Society Headache. La prévalence de la migraine était comprise entré 3·7 et 4·9 pour cent. Selon les critères utilisés la prévalence de la migraine avec aura (1·5 pour cent) était identique pour tous les critères tandis que la prévalence de la migraine sans aura allait de 2·2 a 3·4 pour cent. La prévalence de la migraine augmentait avec l'âge. Les critères IHS sont apparus moins sensibles que les critères Ad Hoc pour la migraine sans aura. Les critères operationnels partant de trois attaques durant plus d'une heure peuvent être plus specifiques pour le diagnostic de migraine chez le jeune enfant. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Epidemiologie des Kopfschmerzes und der kindlichen Migräne in einer städtischen Allgemeinpraxis unter Verwendung der Ad Hoc, Vahlquist Und IHS Kriterien In einer Übersicht einer UK Allgemeinpraxis nahmen 98·1 Prozent (1083) der registrierten Patienten an einem Interview teil. Potentielle Migränepatienten wurden eingehender befragt und die Ergebnisse wurden nach drei verschiedenen diagnostischen Kriterien aufgezeichnet: Valquist, Ad Hoc und International, Headache Society. Die Häufigkeit der Migräne schwankte zwischen 3·7 und 4·9 Prozent, was von den benutzten Kriterien abhing. Die Häufigkeit der Migräne mit Aura (·5 Prozent) war bei alien Kriterien ähnlich, während die der Migräne ohne Aura zwischen 2·2 und 3·4 schwankte. Die Migränehäufigkeit nahm mit dem Alter zu. Die IHS Kriterien schienen für die Migräne ohne Aura weniger empfindlich zu sein als die von Ad Hoc. Bei jungen Kindern sind drei über eine Stunde dauernde Anfälle spezifischer für die Diagnose der Migräne. RESUMEN: Epidemiologia de la cefalalgia y de la migraña infantil en la practica general urbana utilizando los criterios de Ad Hoc, Vahlquist y IHS En un estudio realizado en la practica general en el Reino Unido, fueron entrevistados el 98,1 porciento (1083) de los niños censados de edad entre tres a 11 años. Los ihdividuos con posible migraña fuesometidos a una entrevista extensa, cuyos resultados fueron registrados utilizando tres diferentes grupos de criterio: Vahlquist, Ad Hoc y Sociedad Internacional de Cefalalgia. La prevalencia de la migraña oscilaba entre el 3,7 y el 4,9 por ciento en dependencia con el criterio usado. La prevalencia de la migraña con aura (1,5 por ciento) era similar en todos los criterios, mientras que para la migraña sin aura oscilaba entre el 2,2 y el 3,4 por ciento. La prevalencia de la migraña aumentaba con la edad. En la migraña sin aura los criterios IHS parecian menos sensitivos que los de Ad Hoc. Los criterios operacionales utilizando tres ataques de mas de una hora de duración pueden ser mas especificos para el diagnostico de la migraña en niños pequeños.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
