[Medical check-ups in childhood (author's transl)].
Eight year's experience indicates that medical check-ups in childhood have found a firm place in preventive medicine. The purpose of the examinations, the number of participants and the efficiency are dealt with and the importance of proceeding specifically emphasized. The special problems of early recognition of diseases which may lead to disability or chronic disease, e.g. cerebral motor disturbances, psychic handicaps, disturbances of vision, hearing and speech, and disorders of the hip joint are discussed. From the knowledge of risk factors, early symptoms and course of the disease, and the optimal beginning of treatment of each disease, the main point of attack for each age group emerges. An informative and instructive discussion with the parents is indispensable. Interdisciplinary cooperation is to be aimed at.
