Assessing the Burden of Adolescent Care in Paediatric Surgery in a Single Tertiary Institution in the Caribbean: An Age-Stratified Case-Mix Audit
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to quantify the contribution of adolescents to a tertiary paediatric surgical service in the Caribbean and to analyze how the types of diseases varied across different age groups. Their findings revealed that adolescents accounted for a significant portion of surgical activity, predominantly related to acquired conditions, suggesting a need for tailored care pathways that address the unique surgical needs of this age group while maintaining resources for younger patients with congenital and developmental issues.
