Trend of Rheumatic Heart Disease Prevalence in Bangladeshi Children
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of all the population and school based studies indicate that prevalence of RHD has been declining in Bangladesh; from 7.5 per 1000 in 1977 to 0.3 per 1000 in 2005. No study is available for last 10 years. A regression line (exponential) has been drawn using prevalence points of all the studies identified. Although the line is very close to the ground, it will presumably take another decade or two to touch the zero line. Studies at five years interval are needed to monitor the trend of RHD.
