title: The effectiveness of the yellow card warning system for paediatric cardiology patients.
abstract: 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.
