Pediatric vehicular heatstroke: An analysis of 296 cases from the National Fatality Review Case Reporting System

CONCLUSIONS: The results align with previous PVH findings and added new information on child race/ethnicity, CPS action, disability/chronic illness, and maltreatment. With the exception of parents being more likely to be the supervisor in incidents occurring at home, which was expected, neither supervisor characteristics nor child race/ethnicity or sex were independently significant in multiple regression, suggesting that PVH is pervasive and that education campaigns should be similarly broad.PMID:38108664 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2023.2290454
