Hospitalisation rates for epilepsy, asthma and insulin-dependent diabetes in 796 190 school-aged children and young people with and without intellectual disabilities: a record-link... by Angela Henderson, Sally-Ann Cooper, Craig Melville, Michael Fleming, Gillian S Smith, Jill Pell, Deborah Cairns

“…Pupils with intellectual disabilities and insulin-dependent diabetes had similar admission rates to controls (aHR 0.94, 95% CI 0.63, 1.41) but with shorter admissions (aIRR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51, 0.99).Conclusions Our findings suggest pupils with intellectual disabilities may receive poorer community healthcare than their peers for the common conditions of epilepsy and asthma. …”
