Recent consensus statements in pediatric endocrinology: a selective review

Michelle Klein et al. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Clinical guidelines and consensus statements serve to summarize and organize current knowledge on diverse subjects, and provide practical guidelines for proper clinical management. Recommendations should be based on research and evidence derived from appropriate sources. In 2008, more than 20 consensus statements were published in the pediatric literature alone. This article summarizes the salient points of the latest consensus statements jointly developed by multiple endocrine societies including the Lawson Wilkins Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology. As much as possible, the original intent and language of the statements was respected and paraphrased.
