Methodological approaches for childrens health studies

Examples of commonly used clinical tools or tests that may be appropriate for children s health issues are summarized in Table 8. This table underscores the utility in evaluating children s overall health status rather than restricted focus on specific organ systems, except for circumstances when a particular exposure or health concern exists for a defined study population. [Pg.169]

Immune Blood tests Antibody response to immunization (humoral immunity) serum concentrations of immunoglobulin subtypes (humoral immunity) [Pg.169]

Respiratory Lung function Spirometry and pulmonary function testing (measurements of lung volumes and flow rates) peak expiratory flow rate measurements (can be done in field with inexpensive hand-held meters) [Pg.169]

Haematopoietic Blood tests Complete blood count (red and white blood cell indices and platelets) measurement of clotting factors, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time [Pg.169]
