Guest Editorial
In resource-rich countries, chronic paediatric illnesses are rare. But this low prevalence has contributed to the lack of an evidence base for children as comprehensive as that available for adults. It may be that, as discussed by Michael Silverstein and Howard Bauchner, considering children with chronic conditions separately from those without them could help to remedy this gap in the evidence.
