While the first 1,000 days of life are a critical period in child's development, limited information on the main determinants affecting this period in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region is available. Therefore, the Latin American Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (SLIPE) held an workshop in May 2022 with an expert panel designed to analyze the main factors impacting the development of childhood in the region during this period and the main causes of maternal infant morbimortality. The aim was to identify priorities, generate recommendations, and advise practical actions to improve this situation. Considerations were made about the challenges involved in bridging the gap that separates the region from more developed countries regarding an optimal early childhood and maternal care. Extensive discussion was conducted to reach consensus recommendations on general strategies intended to reduce maternal and infant mortality associated with infections and immune-preventable diseases during the first 1,000 days of life in LAC.
虽然生命的最初1000天是儿童发育的关键时期,但关于影响拉丁美洲和加勒比地区这一时期的主要决定因素的信息有限。因此,拉丁美洲儿科传染病学会(SLIPE)于2022年5月举办了一次研讨会,与会专家小组旨在分析这一时期影响该地区儿童发育的主要因素以及母婴发病和死亡的主要原因。目的是确定优先事项,提出建议,并为改善这种情况提供实际行动建议。会议考虑了在最佳幼儿和孕产妇护理方面,该地区与更发达国家之间存在差距所涉及的挑战。进行了广泛讨论,以就旨在降低拉丁美洲和加勒比地区生命最初1000天内与感染和免疫可预防疾病相关的母婴死亡率的总体战略达成共识建议。
