Medizinische Maßnahmen bei immigrierenden Kindern und Jugendlichen – Aktualisierung vom 28.02.2018

Between 2015 and 2017, an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 children were seeking asylum each year in EU/EEA countries. As access to high-quality health care is important, we collected and compared current recommendations across Europe for a consensus recommendation on medical care for migrant children. Existing recommendations were collected from published literature and identified through national representatives from paediatric societies of 31 EU/EEA countries. In addition, guidelines from Australia, Canada, and the United States were reviewed. Evidence on recommendations to be considered for inclusion was specifically identified in literature searches focused on recent evidence from Europe. For eight EU/EEA countries a national recommendation was identified. Growth and development, vision and hearing impairment, skin and dental problems, immunisations, anemia, micronturient deficiency, helminths, hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus, malaria, schistosomiasis, syphilis, tuberculosis, posttraumatic stress disorder and sexual health were most frequently mentioned and therefore selected for inclusion in the recommendation. Conclusion: The current document provides recommendations based on expert opinion and evidence for medical care for migrant children in Europe. These include general topics on ethical standards, use of interpreters, follow-up and documentation and specific recommendations for communicable and non-communicable conditions and diseases. Keywords ; The author would like to thank Ayesha Kadir and Anders Hjern for helpful comments on the manuscript. We would like to thank René-Marie Meignan for designing the icons.
