In 2011, an expert National Institutes of Health panel published the "Integrated Guidelines for CV Health and Risk Reduction in Children and Adolescents," which recommended screening all children aged 9 to 11 years for dyslipidemia. It is unknown if this guideline is being followed. We surveyed members of the Utah chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to determine whether they performed universal lipid screening at well-child visits (WCV) on their patients at 9,10, or 11 years and how comfortable they were with evaluating and/or managing children with dyslipidemia. Of the 118 respondents who practiced primary care, only 18 (15%) screened all children at WCV; 86 (73%) tested "some," most commonly children who were obese or had a positive family history. 18% were unfamiliar with the guidelines; 28% were familiar with the guidelines but felt they were "inappropriate;" 98 (84%) of the respondents said they were "very or somewhat comfortable" evaluating children with dyslipidemia.

Autism Screening Using the Parent's Observation of Social Interactions in a Large Integrated Healthcare System.
J Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of the Parent's Observation of Social Interactions (POSI) when deployed for universal autism screening within a large healthcare network.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of electronic health record (EHR) data from children screened for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using POSI at 18- and 24- month pediatric well child care (WCC) visits across Southern California Permanente Medical Group facilities throughout the 2022 calendar year. Data on ASD diagnoses placed in the EHR problem list were analyzed one year later (until end of 2023) to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative likelihood ratio (LR+ and LR-) values.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the division of responsibilities between mothers and fathers for healthcare-related tasks involving their children, revealing significant gender differences in these roles.
- Data was collected from over 1,100 parents, showing that mothers are primarily responsible for scheduling appointments and taking children to healthcare visits, often more than twice as likely as fathers.
- The findings suggest that pediatricians can encourage greater involvement from fathers in these tasks, potentially helping to shift societal norms regarding healthcare responsibilities in families.

Background This study examined the relationship between touchscreen exposure and developmental outcomes in early childhood using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3), a widely-used developmental screening tool. Methods During a well-child visit, parents of 51 children aged 18-36 months completed the ASQ-3 and a survey on their child's touchscreen habits (timing of introduction, daily usage duration, independent use, engagement in creative activities). Medical records were reviewed for developmental diagnoses and health conditions.

Introduction: The Rocky Mountain Network of Oral Health is 1 of 3 regional projects funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (2019 to 2024) focusing on caries prevention through medical-dental integration (MDI) in community health centers (CHCs). MDI models included provision of preventive oral health services (POHS) at medical visits by the medical team (model 1), by integrated dental hygienists (DHs; model 2), or a hybrid of these models (model 3). The overarching aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of these models on 3 objectives: (1) ≥50% receive POHS, (2) ≥75% with high caries risk receives dental referral, and (3) ≥30% of parents/caregivers set an oral health goal for the child.
