While caregiver-reported measurements exhibited minor errors, the magnitude was comparable to previous findings in general pediatric populations. Thus, caregiver-reported data may be suitable for follow-up monitoring in pediatric growth clinics but should be used cautiously for initial diagnosis or therapeutic decisions.
