Abstract
AbstractThis article highlights the use of the DC: 0–3 (Diagnostic Classification, Zero‐to‐Three, 1994) with respect to the special conditions of a hospital pediatric liaison service. The DC: 0–3 system itself has had a positive influence on the structure and quality of diagnostic assessment and the setup of treatment plans in this setting. We describe our experiences with DC: 0–3 in a special group of referred infants with severe eating behavior problems that involved approximately 80% of all liaison referrals and 60% of all outpatient referrals to our pediatric hospital. Most referrals involved requests for weaning infants from long term nasogastric‐(NG) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy‐(PEG) tubes. Four clinical vignettes demonstrate the practical use of DC: 0–3 and its multiple axes in clinical situations. ©2003 Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health.
