Clinical Pearls in Pediatrics

  • Having 2 or more siblings with autism spectrum disorder doubles the risk of ASD in younger children
  • Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are more susceptible to dental caries due to reduced salivary flow rate
  • Boys, but not girls, who are born post-term are at greater risk of adolescent obesity due to accelerated weight gain during childhood

Children 6-11 years of age were at highest risk.
