It wasn’t long ago that the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for much of their long history recommended that the child first seek dental evaluation by three years of age.1 This reflected the general belief that child behavior under three years of age rendered limited usefulness to early examinations and secondly that there were inadequate numbers of pediatric dental specialists available to see children earlier. In contrast to views of pediatric dentists, those responsible for treating extensive early childhood decay it became clear that deferral to age three for first seeing a dentist was clearly not in the best interest of children and parents.

Materials & Methods Eight thousand five hundred thirty-seven case presentations of five-year-olds attended the Emergency Department in 2013, were extracted and collected from two electronic databases (eHis and Powerchart) from three major public hospitals in the Klang Valley from May 2015 until May 2016. Results More than half of 5-year-old patients attending the ED were males (54.6%) in comparison to females (45.4%). In terms of ethnicity, overall, the majority of patients who attended all three hospitals were Malays (73.4%), followed by Indians (13.2%), Chinese (11.4%), others/indigenous (0.9%) and Foreigners (0.8%). Injuries accounted for 12.2 percent (n=250) of all ED presentations at Serdang Hospital, 9.5 percent (n=261) in Selayang Hospital and 12.4 percent (n=379) at Sg Buloh Hospital. Overall, males were 1.5 times more likely to present with an injury compared with females. But females had a higher risk of presenting to EDs with abuse/neglect/assault compared to males. Conclusion The findings from the analysis of hospital records (low rates of recorded CAN cases) provided strong evidence that there are significant gaps in identifying non-accidental injuries in the clinical setting in Malaysia due to the ‘grey’ area that exists especially amongst 5-year-olds. The study also found that being male and of Malay ethnicity increases the child’s risk of injuries.","PeriodicalId":91944,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrics and neonatal nursing : open journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41360446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
