Description:
Abstract The outcome of day‐care versus inpatient surgery for two equivalent groups of children is examined. Ratings were made of medical outcome, behaviour change in the children at 1 week and 3 mths post‐discharge from a pre‐admission criterion, convenience and subjective anxiety for parents, and relative costs of the two procedures.Results showed trends in favour of the day‐care procedure. Argument is made that day‐care should be the preferred option for minor surgery in young children.
