- - The Spanish Association of Pediatrics is working on "DO NOT DO" recommendations (DNDRs) to identify and eliminate ineffective health care practices in pediatric care settings.
- - The project involved two phases: generating potential DNDRs and finalizing recommendations through a consensus process called the Delphi method, engaging various pediatric professional groups.
- - Ultimately, 25 DNDRs were agreed upon, aimed at reducing unsafe and low-value practices in pediatric health care to enhance overall safety and quality.
Objective: The complexity of consultations for child and adolescent sexual abuse (CSA), added to the high service pressure in Emergency Department (ED), makes legal proceedings to be prioritized over medical action, and security incidents may appear.
