The criteria for admitting children to hospital for medical care were examined in 399 consecutive, non-planned admissions to the Nottingham Children's Hospital between October 1975 and January 1976. Sixty-one per cent of the children were referred direct to the casualty department by their parents. Over 20% were admitted primarily for social reasons, and many of the remainder came from homes judged to be at a disadvantage. The hospital medical services for children should be aware of the needs of parents as well as of the needs of sick children in their catchment area.
对1975年10月至1976年1月期间连续399例非计划性入住诺丁汉儿童医院的患儿的住院医疗标准进行了研究。61%的患儿由其父母直接送往急诊科。超过20%的患儿主要因社会原因入院，其余许多患儿来自被认为处于不利状况的家庭。儿童医院的医疗服务应了解其服务区域内患儿父母以及患病儿童的需求。
