Implementation of lipid screening guidelines in children by primary pediatric providers / Laura L. Hayman - January/ February 2015. - MCN : The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing 40 : 1, page 64 .
Hayman remarks on Dixon et al's online survey that assesses the awareness and implementation of lipid guidelines among primary pediatric providers and determine barriers for implementing lipid screening in current pediatric practice. Of note, 74% of providers reportedly believed that lipid screening and treatment would reduce future cardiovascular risk; however, 34% reported no screening, 16% and 50% reported universal and selective screening, respectively. Results indicate need for additional education of pediatric primary care providers on the importance of assessing and managing dyslipidemia in children and youth.
