To determine the causes of death among Amsterdam children dying abroad.
Retrospective study.
Department of Youth Health Care in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Analysis was based on the data bank of the Department of Youth Health Care, which contains the items sex, age and ethnic origin of decreased children as well as time, place and cause of death.
A total of 791 Amsterdam children (1 week-14 years old) died during the period 1982-1993. Of these children 98 (12.4%) died outside the Netherlands; of two the place of death was unknown. A relatively large proportion of decreased Turkish and Moroccan children died while abroad, 24.7% and 34.2% respectively. The distribution of causes of death among children dying in the Netherlands differed from children dying abroad. The most important causes abroad were accidents (especially car accidents), infections (especially gastrointestinal infections) and congenital disorders. Children who died of accidents were mainly between 1 and 9 years old. Fatal infections were primarily seen in children 0 years old and of Moroccan origin, and in the period 1982-1985. Children who died of congenital abnormalities were mostly of Moroccan origin.
Mortality among Turkish and Moroccan Amsterdam children often occurred outside the Netherlands. Mortality in children visiting foreign countries was mainly the result of preventable causes such as accidents and infections.
确定在国外死亡的阿姆斯特丹儿童的死因。
回顾性研究。
荷兰阿姆斯特丹青少年保健部。
分析基于青少年保健部的数据库，该数据库包含死亡儿童的性别、年龄、种族以及死亡时间、地点和原因等信息。
1982年至1993年期间，共有791名阿姆斯特丹儿童（1周龄至14岁）死亡。其中98名（12.4%）在荷兰境外死亡；另有2名儿童的死亡地点不明。相对较大比例的土耳其和摩洛哥裔死亡儿童是在国外死亡的，分别为24.7%和34.2%。在荷兰死亡的儿童与在国外死亡的儿童的死因分布有所不同。国外最重要的死因是事故（尤其是车祸）、感染（尤其是胃肠道感染）和先天性疾病。死于事故的儿童主要在1至9岁之间。致命感染主要见于0岁的摩洛哥裔儿童以及1982年至1985年期间。死于先天性异常的儿童大多是摩洛哥裔。
阿姆斯特丹的土耳其和摩洛哥裔儿童的死亡经常发生在荷兰境外。前往国外的儿童死亡主要是由事故和感染等可预防的原因导致的。
