Abstract
The incidence of brought dead in children (BD) is high in tertiary care centers but there is limited number of studies in the current literature. The present study was undertaken to know patterns and other issues regarding the brought dead cases. It is a retrospective study done in tertiary care center, data of all brought dead cases from January 2014 to December 2016 was analysed. Most of the cases of BD were infants. Acute encephalitis syndrome (122/421) and septicemia (60/421) constitute most of the cases and 68.6% cases were from rural area. Acute encephalitis syndrome is the leading cause of brought dead. Accidental injuries also contribute significantly to it. There is need of well-designed studies regarding brought dead population in pediatric age group.
