To some extent our greatest problem is the philosophic answer to the question, "who shall be treated, how intensely and to what expense?" The cost of care is almost always greatest in the child who is borderline in selection and least likely to survive. Over half of the children shunted after application of searching criteria appear to this author to be compensated (Table 28.13).
在某种程度上，我们最大的问题是对“谁应该接受治疗、治疗强度多大以及花费多少？”这个问题的哲学性回答。护理成本几乎总是在那些处于选择边缘且最不可能存活的儿童身上最高。在应用详尽的标准后接受分流手术的儿童中，超过一半在作者看来是得到了改善（表28.13）。
