Fatal Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH) is a preventable tragedy that claims the lives of an average of 38 children each year. The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between fatal Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke incidents and various circumstantial factors. Data was collected through customized online searches of electronic media using tools such as Google News and Lexis-Nexus. A set of linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between fatal PVH and three circumstantial variables: geographic region, time of day, and outside temperature. The finding show that specific U.S. Regions, Time of Day, and Outside Temperature significantly predicted fatal Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH). Understanding these relationships can aid in the development of more targeted prevention technologies, legislation, and public education efforts aimed at reducing the risk of fatal PVH within the United States.
