[Accident-related mortality in 5- to 9-year-old children].

BACKGROUND: According to the WHO, insufficient attention is devoted to the problem of accident while more than one half of the death in children of 1 to 14 years of age in industrialized countries are caused by accidents. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nationwide statistical data from the Czech Republic have been evaluated and compared with those of selected European countries and the USA. In the years 1991-1993 average of 151 children died in the Czech Republic in the age group of 5- to 9-year olds. In 68 of them the cause of death was an injury that in almost half of the cases was due to a traffic accident. The trend in the mortality of children of the same age was assessed comparing the averages for 1950-1952 and 1991-1993. The overall mortality decreased by 68% while the greatest decline was in non-accident causes (75%). Mortality due to accidents decreased by 55% and that caused by motor vehicles by only 19%. The lowest mortality due to accidents was found in Sweden. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that mortality due to accidents and poisonings in younger school children in the Czech Republic is higher than, e.g. in Austria and Sweden. In order to be able to elaborate a draft of appropriate and effective preventive measures, it is necessary to obtain further information on accidents and poisonings in children that have not ended fatally.

[A Czech physician at the birth of pediatric medicine].

The author draws attention to the Czech physician J.J. Mastalir, who founded at the end of the 18th century in Vienna a surgery for poor sick children, one of the first ones in Europe. His work is briefly compared with that of the Prague obstetrician Dr. J. Melic who worked during the same period along similar lines in Prague.

[Infant mortality and mortality in older children in the Czech and Moravian Regions in 1988].

The authors compare the present infant mortality in Czech and Moravian regions with the mortality in comparable areas after the First World War. Attention is drawn to the possibility of a wider, more objective evaluation of reproductive losses by an indicator where in the numerator are infant deaths, stillborn infants and aborted foetuses with a body weight of more than 500 g and in the denominator live born infant. The results of evaluations in regions according to these larger reproductive losses differ considerably from the evaluation according to infant mortality and the order of regions is also different. Finally, bases on the reports of regional specialists, the authors demonstrate interregional differences in the specific neonatal mortality by birth weight and differences in the post-perinatal mortality from some groups of diseases.
