Abstract:
Understanding why children die is necessary to implement strategies to prevent future deaths and improve the health of any community. Child fatality review teams (CFRTs) have existed since the 1970s and provide a necessary framework to ensure that proper questions are asked about a child\'s death. CFRTs provide a vital function in a community to ensure that preventable causes of deaths are identified. Pediatricians are necessary members of CFRTs because they provide medical expertise and context around a child\'s death. All CFRTs should have pediatric physician representation, and results from team meetings should inform public policy at all levels of government. Pediatricians should be supported in their efforts to be present on CFRTs, and they should use data from team meetings to help advocate for implementing prevention strategies.
摘要:
了解儿童死亡的原因对于实施预防未来死亡和改善任何社区健康的战略是必要的。儿童死亡审查小组(CFRT)自1970年代以来一直存在,并提供了必要的框架,以确保对儿童死亡提出适当的问题。CFRT在社区中提供了重要功能,以确保确定可预防的死亡原因。儿科医生是CFRTs的必要成员,因为他们提供有关儿童死亡的医疗专业知识和背景。所有CFRT都应该有儿科医师代表,小组会议的结果应告知各级政府的公共政策。应支持儿科医生努力参加CFRT,他们应该使用来自团队会议的数据来帮助倡导实施预防策略。
