Controlled Study of Mothers and Children in Hospital

Abstract

In this clinical trial 197 children were admitted to hospital for three days and underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. An experimental group of 101 were admitted with their mothers and there was a control group of 96 unaccompanied children. The incidence of emotional and infective complications was significantly lower in the experimental group. © 1968, British Medical Journal Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
