Abstract

Diagnostic testing for underlying conditions in children who are suspected of having faltering weight should be performed at the clinician's discretion, on the basis of the child's condition, while considering tests' potential harms and costs. Future research is needed to better characterize the benefits and harms of evaluations in young children who are being assessed for faltering weight.
