过敏和免疫疾病,包括哮喘,食物过敏,特应性皮炎,和过敏性鼻炎,是儿童和青少年中最常见的慢性疾病之一,通常持续到成年。虽然罕见,如果未发现或未经治疗,先天性免疫错误会改变生活,并可能致命。因此,过敏和免疫疾病都是医学和公共卫生问题,受到社会经济因素的深刻影响。最近,研究强调了社会问题,以评估导致健康不平等的多个层面的因素,以及缩小这些差距的潜在步骤。社会经济差异会影响护理的各个方面,包括医疗保健服务和质量,诊断,管理,教育,以及疾病患病率和结果。正在进行的研究,订婚,相关利益相关者和宣传方法需要审慎投入资源,以确定和解决社会经济学对过敏和免疫疾病患者医疗保健差异和结果的影响.
Allergic and immunologic conditions, including asthma, food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, are among the most common chronic conditions in children and adolescents that often last into adulthood. Although rare, inborn errors of immunity are life-altering and potentially fatal if unrecognized or untreated. Thus, allergic and immunologic conditions are both medical and public health issues that are profoundly affected by socioeconomic factors. Recently, studies have highlighted societal issues to evaluate factors at multiple levels that contribute to health inequities and the potential steps toward closing those gaps. Socioeconomic disparities can influence all aspects of care, including health care access and quality, diagnosis, management, education, and disease prevalence and outcomes. Ongoing research, engagement, and deliberate investment of resources by relevant stakeholders and advocacy approaches are needed to identify and address the impact of socioeconomics on health care disparities and outcomes among patients with allergic and immunologic diseases.
