We have given an indication of the range of national data which are available on child health. Paediatricians are familiar with simple demographic, mortality, and morbidity statistics, and it is intended tht trends in these should be updated annually. There is, however, a wealth of data on the use of medical social, and financial services which will be reported in future. Professional interest may help to improve the collection and presentation of national data, and we hope that this series will do this as well as providing a source of data for those who do not otherwise have access to it.
我们已经说明了可获取的有关儿童健康的全国性数据的范围。儿科医生熟悉简单的人口统计学、死亡率和发病率统计数据,并且打算每年更新这些数据的趋势。然而,关于医疗、社会和金融服务使用情况的大量数据将在未来报告。专业兴趣可能有助于改进全国性数据的收集和呈现,我们希望本系列既能做到这一点,又能为那些无法以其他方式获取数据的人提供数据来源。
