Investigation of deaths in early childhood is one method of assessing the quality of child care in a district. This paper describes a study carried out in one health district, on children in the age group one week to five years: 28 deaths occurred over a two-year period, 25 of these in the first year of life. The deaths are classified according to potential preventable factors. The study gave a more detailed picture of mortality patterns in the district than was previously available. Parents found the home interview in the study helpful in allowing them to explore their worries about the child's death.
幼儿死亡调查是评估一个地区儿童保育质量的一种方法。本文描述了在一个健康区对一周至五岁儿童进行的一项研究：在两年期间发生了28例死亡，其中25例发生在生命的第一年。这些死亡根据潜在的可预防因素进行分类。该研究比以前提供的信息更详细地描绘了该地区的死亡率模式。家长们发现研究中的家庭访谈有助于他们探究对孩子死亡的担忧。
