Injuries are the leading cause of death in young people. Our aim is to examine the differences between aboriginal and non-aboriginal pediatric trauma mortality as a means to focus on prevention strategies. ⋯ Pediatric Aboriginal injury prevention should be a priority and tailored for Aboriginal communities.

The purpose of this manuscript was to examine the maternal morbidity and reproductive outcomes following maternal-fetal surgery with an emphasis on the EXIT procedure. ⋯ Future reproductive capacity and complication rates in subsequent pregnancies following EXIT procedure are similar to those seen in the general population. In contrast, mid-gestation OMFS remains associated with relatively morbid complications. This evidence can help guide in counseling expectant mothers who are faced with the challenge of considering fetal surgery.
