Summary

Primary care screening for slow growth in children is effective, identifying one case for every 80 children screened. Adjusting referral criteria to height percentile 0.4 could enhance efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric endocrinology
  • Growth monitoring
  • Primary care pediatrics

Context:

  • Growth screening is a key component of primary pediatric care.
  • Early identification of slow growth is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Current screening methods in primary care settings require evaluation.

Purpose:

  • To assess the effectiveness of growth screening in identifying slow growth in 6- and 7-year-olds.
  • To characterize the features of slow growth identified in this population.
  • To evaluate the efficiency of current primary care screening protocols.

Summary:

  • An observational study screened 2306 children aged 6-7 years in Barcelona primary care centers.
  • The screening identified 73 children with low height (3.5%), leading to a diagnosis of slow growth in 49 cases (11 organic, 38 non-organic).

  • The screening's effectiveness was one unidentified case of slow growth per 80 children screened.

    • Impact:

    • The study supports the continuation of primary care growth screening.
    • Recommendations include refining referral criteria to height percentile 0.4 for improved efficiency.
    • Differentiating non-organic growth disorders for management by pediatric teams is suggested.
