Utilising the diagnostic criteria of paediatric feeding disorder: Updated findings from a population‐based cohort study
This is the first study to report the high prevalence of skill-based deficits in PFD, along with the type and frequency of clinical features observed in affected patients. Based on these findings, we propose a clarification of the diagnostic criteria, with greater emphasis on medical and skill-based factors. This study underscores the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary assessment of feeding, incorporating a thorough evaluation of feeding skills and the functional impact of medical conditions on feeding development.
