The deaths of 99 children under 5 years of age were studied through the coroners' records. Sixty nine deaths were caused by medicines--most of which were prescribed for mother, were recently dispensed, and currently in use. Household products accounted for 11 deaths, lead poisoning for 6, carbon monoxide for 5 and 'medical mishaps' for 8. Prevention lies in both education and more effective and selective use of child resistant containers.
通过验尸官记录对99名5岁以下儿童的死亡情况进行了研究。69例死亡是由药物导致的——其中大多数药物是开给母亲的，最近才配药且正在使用。家用产品导致11例死亡，铅中毒导致6例，一氧化碳导致5例，“医疗事故”导致8例。预防措施包括教育以及更有效、更有针对性地使用儿童安全容器。
