Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 2,348 death cases of children and adolescents in Japan from 2014 to 2016, finding that 18.2%-21.0% of deaths were identified based on demographic surveys, with 27.2% resulting from external factors or unknown causes.
- - The review indicated a notable proportion of preventable deaths (25%) and suggested the need for better evaluation of suspected child maltreatment cases, which accounted for 5%.

This study aimed to investigate the penetration rate of child protection teams (CPTs) in medical institutions and associations between CPT functions and hospital services. We collected data in October of 2015 from 377 hospitals in Japan offering pediatric organ transplantation. The questionnaire included questions regarding the existence of a CPT, the number of child maltreatment cases discussed and reported per year, CPT functions including 21 items about staffing, manuals, meeting, prevention, education, and collaboration, and the services provided by the hospital.
