Abstract
- The authors reflect on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's recommendations on lipid screening in children and adolescents, and it mentions the claim that clinicians, who already test all newborns for phenylketonuria, should perform screening to detect familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and pediatric lipid disorders in newborns. Screening for multifactorial dyslipidemia is examined, along with other lipid disorders such as combined dyslipidemia of obesity.
