- Title
Recognizing and addressing atypical growth.
- Authors
Casey, Linda; Fenton, Tanis R
- Abstract
While child growth evaluation is fundamental to paediatric practice, an increasingly complex clinical picture can complicate interpretation of growth patterns. This practice point uses representative case studies to illustrate key features of interpretation and response to commonly encountered growth patterns. Awareness of these common patterns and their etiologies will enhance the clinician's ability to respond appropriately and minimize the risk for under- or over-diagnosis of growth impairment.
