Risk Indicators for Hearing Screening (11)
- Caregiver concern* regarding hearing, speech, language, or developmental delay.
- Family history* of permanent childhood hearing loss.
- NICU of more than 5 days* or any of the following regardless of length of stay: ECMO, assisted ventilation, exposure to ototoxic medications (gentamycin and
tobramycin) or loop diuretics (furosemide/Lasix), and hyperbilirubinemia that requires exchange transfusion. - In utero infections*, such as CMV, herpes, rubella, syphilis, and toxoplasmosis.
- Craniofacial anomalies*, including those that involve the pinna, ear canal, ear tags, ear pits, and temporal bone anomalies.
- Physical findings, such as white forelock, that are associated with a syndrome known to include a sensorineural or permanent conductive hearing loss.
- Syndromes associated with hearing loss or progressive or late-onset hearing loss*, such as neurofibromatosis, osteopetrosis, Usher syndrome, Waardenburg, Alport, Pendred, and Jervell and Lange- Nielson.
- Neurodegenerative disorders* such as Hunter syndrome, or sensory motor neuropathies, such as Friedreich ataxia and Charcot-Marie Tooth syndrome.
- Culture-positive postnatal infections associated with sensorineural hearing loss*, including confirmed bacterial and viral (especially herpes viruses and varicella) meningitis
- Head trauma, especially basal skull/temporal bone fractures that requires hospitalization.
- Chemotherapy
AAP Vision Screening Recommendations (3)
- Routine screening at age 18 has been changed to a risk assessment.
- A visual acuity screen is recommended at ages 4 and 5 years, as well as in cooperative 3 year olds.
- Instrument based screening may be used to assess risk at ages 12 and 24 months, in addition to the well visits at 3 through 5 years of age.

Developmental Screening Guidelines (3)
- Autism Screening should occur at 18 and 24 months
- Developmental Surveillance should occur at every primary care visit when not doing developmental screening
- Neuromotor screening should occur at 9, 18, 30, and 48 months
What ages should standardized neurodevelopmental screening occur? (3)
9, 18, and 30 months
9 month old neurodevelopmental screening (2)
- Can separate from parents, move around
2. Develop pincer grasp - surrogate for cortical and over all brain development
18 month old neurodevelopmental screening
Validated instrument for screening for autistic spectrum disorder *** this should be repeated at 24 months!!!
30 month old neurodevelopmental screening (2)
1, Majority of children have isolated delay in expressive language
2. At 24 months, can screen language 20% will be delayed
Type of Development Standardized Tests (4)
- Ages and Stages
- Denver II
- Peds
- Language: Cognitive Adaptive Test/Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale (CAT/CLAMS)
Type of Behavioral Standardized Tests (2)
- Pediatric Symptom checklist: 35 questionnaire for children 4 to 16 years of age
- Modified checklist for Autism in Toddler (M-CHAT)
Newborn Screening
Should be done 24 hours post feeding
*Also do critical congenital heart defect screening
Dyslipidemia Screening
Screen between 9-11 years old AND 16-18 years old
dyslipidemia=high cholesterol
Hematocrit and Hemoglobin Screening
15-30 months risk assessment
Trichimosis Vaginalis Screening (6 risks)
Unnecessary unless child is at risk Risks: 1. New or multiple partners 2. History of STI 3. NAAT for T vaginalis 4. Point of care tests 5. DNA probe 6. Culture -- Microscopic is less sensitive (51% to 65% in females and less sensitive in males
Routine syphilis evaluation
No routine syphilis evaluation
*Only MSM annually or every 3-6 months if high risk or
behaviors that put them at high risk
**No routine syphillis unless adolescent/adult males having sex with one another
STI/HIV Screening (4)
- HIV screening: 16 and 18 years.
STI screening
2. All sexually active adolescents should be screened for chlamydia and gonorrhea annually
- Use of highly sensitive nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) to test urine, urethral, vaginal (provider or patient collected cervical, and liquid cytology specimens
- Not approved for oral or rectal swab specimens
Cervical Dysplasia (2)
- Adolescents should no longer be routinely screened for cervical dysplasia until age 21.
- If immunocompromised or immunosuppressed, yearly PAP tests should begin with onset of sexual activity
Flouride Varnish (6)
- Dental home referral starting at age 1 year
* Dental home should start at age 1 but insurance doesn’t cover it until age 3 - Fluoridated toothpaste is recommended for all children starting at tooth eruption, regardless of caries risk.
- A smear (the size of a grain of rice) of toothpaste should be used up to age 3. After the 3rd birthday, a pea sized amount may be used.
- Parents should dispense toothpaste for young children and supervise and assist with brushing.
- Fluoride varnish is recommended in the primary care setting every 3–6 months starting at tooth emergence.
- Over-the counter fluoride rinse is not recommended for children younger than 6 years due to risk of swallowing
