Abstract

general pediatrics growth chart pediatric endocrinology severe obesity survey
A web-based survey of pediatric care providers revealed differences in their preference for clinical charts that monitor growth in children with obesity. These findings are attributed to pediatric specialty training. Very few providers believe the currently available Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2000 body mass index-for-age charts adequately track growth in children with obesity.
