Abstract
Rationale: Several paediatric nutrition risk screening tools have been developed yet no-one has demonstrated reproducibility and reliability outside of research. We explored nutrition screening in children attending the paediatric assessment unit, compared with standard anthropometric measures. Methods: Prospective study, n = 300 [median 3.15 yrs; SD ±4.97 yrs; 44.6% (n = 134) female; 25.7% (n = 77) 2). In the over 5 year olds 5.8% were thin [BMI-for-age (BAZ) 2).
