Within the framework of the project Commitment to the Quality of Scientific Societies in Spain, whose main objective is to reduce the use of unnecessary health interventions, the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality has published a document with five "do not do" recommendations prepared by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics.
It is a professional disclosure document, but it is important that parents also be informed of the practices that are recommended not to do to our children when they go to the doctor.
Each Scientific Society, among them the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, is in charge of establishing 5 recommendations of “not doing” through the Delphi Method. Each panel made up of experts works with a preliminary list of recommendations based on scientific evidence, and through a voting system the five finalists you see in the statement above have been reached.
Among them are those related to the neuroimaging and radiology tests, which Eva was already talking to us in more depth when she told us the radiological studies that should not be routinely done to children.
