Abstract:
New Standardized Criteria for the Identification of Pediatric Malnutrition: In reviewing the current research and creating standardized diagnostic criteria, dietitians are able to consistently assess for pediatric malnutrition and apply pediatric malnutrition diagnoses in the inpatient setting. The new standardized criteria evaluate chronicity, etiology and pathogenesis, anthropometric variables, growth velocity, and physical assessment for each individual patient. Early and consistent recognition of pediatric malnutrition in the clinical setting allows for earlier intervention, potential decreased length in stay, prevention of iatrogenic malnutrition, improved data for future research, and increased revenue through appropriate medical coding.
