Service use and cost for Children with Medically Unexplained Symptoms

Lay Summary :
Up to one third of all children attending paediatric clinics for physical symptoms have no medical explanation for their symptoms. Adults with unexplained symptoms may undergo many (unnecessary) appointments, tests and hospital admissions. We will investigate if there is a similar pattern of service use in children with medically unexplained symptoms, and will estimate the impact of SLAM's child and adolescent liaison psychiatry service.<br/>
