Résumé : |
FRANÇAIS : Si on examine les statistiques concernant les nouveaux nés de mère toxicomane aux USA, on note une grande discordance selon l'origine des données. L'étude NAPARE (National Association for Perinatal Addiction Research and Education) prédisait jusqu'à 375 000 cas pour 1988 alors que les chiffres du NHDS (National Hospital Discharge Survey) estiment 13 800 cas. L'estimation la plus vraisemblable se situerait entre 30 et 40 000 cas, soit un taux de 95 pour 10 000 naissances. ENGLISH : Between 1979 and 1987, there was an estimated 361% increase in the number of drug-affected newborns discharged from the 6000 non-federal, short-stay hospitals in the United States. Per 10 000 newborns, the rate increased 339%, mostly occuring after 1983. The estimated number of drug affected newborns in 1987 was about 13 000 (95% confidence interval: 10 000-15 000). Recognizing that underreporting could have occured, multiplicative correction factors derived from the literature were employed to produce "adjusted" estimates. While somewhat arbitrary, the number of drug-affected newborns, adjusted for underreporting, was about 38 000 (95% confidence interval: 30 000-45 000). Both adjusted and unadjusted estimates of the numbers of newborns identified as drug-affected by the present study is much smaller than most of the estimates reported in the literature. Possible reasons for this finding are discussed. (Author's abstract) |
