Objective: To determine the causes and preventability of child deaths; to assess the accuracy of death certificate information; and to assess the number of child abuse deaths that are misdiagnosed as deaths attributable to natural or accidental causes.
Methods: Analysis of deaths of children <18 years old that occurred between 1995-1999 using the data collected by the Arizona Child Fatality Review Program (ACFRP).
Results: From 1995-1999, local multidisciplinary child fatality review teams (CFRTs) have reviewed 95% of all deaths of children <18 years old in Arizona.
