PEDIATRICS Vol. 104 No. 5 November 1999, pp. 1158-1160

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Investigation and Review of Unexpected Infant and Child Deaths

Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect and Committee on Community Health Services

Although there is a continuing need for timely review of child deaths, no uniform system exists for investigation in the United States. Investigation of a death that is traumatic, unexpected, obscure, suspicious, or otherwise unexplained in a child younger than 18 years requires a scene investigation and an autopsy. Review of these deaths requires the participation of pediatricians and other professionals, usually as a child death review team. An appropriately constituted team should evaluate the death investigation process, review difficult cases, and compile child death statistics.
