The effectiveness of the yellow card warning system for paediatric cardiology patients.
Questionnaires were completed by the parents of 100 children with cardiac problems attending the regional paediatric cardiology clinic in Yorkshire. The parents' possession and knowledge regarding the use of a yellow card (warning parents and dentists of the need for antibiotic cover before certain dental treatment) was assessed. Only 57 per cent of parents reported that they had received a yellow card.
