Health profile of pediatric Special Immigrant Visa holders arriving from Iraq and Afghanistan to the United States, 2009–2017: A cross-sectional analysis

PLoS Medicine Mar 22, 2020

Wien SS, et al. - Via analyzing 15,729 overseas medical exam data in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Electronic Disease Notification system for children less than 18 years of age, researchers reported the frequency of selected diseases identified overseas and evaluated differences in selected conditions between SIV children from Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants in the study were children from Iraq and Afghanistan who were admitted to the US from April 2009 through December 2017 in a cross-sectional analysis. According to findings, less than 1% of SIV children noted abnormal findings from the tuberculosis test and 4% of SIV children reported abnormalities in vision. Domestic providers caring for SIVH should follow the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for the US Domestic Medical Examination for Newly Arriving Refugees, including malnutrition assessment. Measurement techniques and anthropometric equipment used in panel site clinics should be evaluated and additional training should be considered in the measurement techniques.
