Regional Infant and Child Mortality Review Committee - 2015 Final Report.
The Regional Infant and Child Mortality Review Committee serves 10 counties in southeastern South Dakota and aims to use its reviews to prevent future loss of life during childhood. In 2015, the committee reviewed 24 deaths (compared to 32 cases in 2013 and 25 cases in 2014). Consistent with observations made in previous years, in 2015 all infants (n=7) who died during sleep did so with risks present in the sleep environment. Progress in decreasing these infant deaths in the region is not being observed, and in fact, may even be deteriorating. Two children died subsequent to a motor vehicle crash and neither were wearing a seat belt. The committee was pleased, however, to note that there were no childhood fatalities associated with teenaged drivers. One teen suicide in 2015 marked a decrease in the number observed in 2013 and 2014, but represents an ongoing concern about the safety of emotionally volatile adolescents. Further, one child homicide occurred in the region in 2015 reflecting the fragility of young in the presence of stressed and unstable home environments. The report provides the committee's recommendation for community action that could prevent future deaths of infants and children.
