Findings on 121 patients include dental caries (74%), elevated lead (32%), eosinophilia (29%), malnutrition (25%), schistosomiasis (6%), strongyloidiasis (8%), latent tuberculosis (7%), and two cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Mental health symptoms include poor sleep in 16%, low energy in 10%, and behavioral concerns in 13%. Families with low English proficiency were more often met with delayed medical care (26.7% vs 11.5% P = .12). Parents with less than a high school education were more likely to experience delayed care (38.5% vs 9.1%; P = .001). We conclude that recently arrived Afghan children have unique physical and mental health needs that need to be addressed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00099228231208611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]],"date-time":"2023-10-31T07:41:10Z","timestamp":1698738070000},"page":"222-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Health Profile of Afghan Pediatric Refugees Resettled to Philadelphia in 2021-2022"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4788-6799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayssa","family":"Abuali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mina","family":"Baisch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazym","family":"Bashkenova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Chang-Escobar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Paoletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia\u2014Jefferson Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00099228231208611","unstructured":"Operation allies welcome announces departure of all Afghan nationals from U.S. Military bases. 2022.
