Parents of kids who need complex medical care at home tend to resolve frequent safety issues on their own, study finds

Parents of medically complex children tend to resolve frequent safety issues at home without professional help, according to a study.

Approximately 1 in 20 U.S. children younger than 18 years of age are medically complex, requiring intricate care at home.

The study found that parents handle complicated devices and manage medication and nutrition regimens independently.
