The first European census of pediatric surgery (PS) centers reveals significant variations in distribution and resources. This data will inform future planning and policy decisions for pediatric surgical care across Europe.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Healthcare Systems Analysis
  • Medical Workforce Planning

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the distribution of pediatric surgical institutions across Europe.
  • The Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS) and the European Pediatric Surgeons' Association (EUPSA) initiated the first census of European pediatric surgery (PS) centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct the first official census of European pediatric surgery centers.
  • To gather data on the distribution, workload, staff, and ancillary services of these centers.
  • To provide a foundation for future planning and policy-making in European pediatric surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A specialized online questionnaire was distributed to identified pediatric surgical centers in Europe.
  • Data collected included general information, patient workload, staffing levels, and ancillary services.

  • Responses were gathered from 215 out of 431 contacted centers.

    • Main Results:

    • Pediatric surgery center density averages 1 per 177,000 children or 1.14 million inhabitants.
    • 77% of responding centers are actively involved in training.
    • An average center performs 1,588 inpatient procedures annually, including 92.6 neonatal procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides crucial data for informed political and strategic decisions regarding pediatric surgical services in Europe.
    • Findings highlight the need for better-grounded planning to optimize the future of pediatric surgery on the continent.
    • The census data serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals and policymakers.
