The Benefits and Harms of Screening for Lipid Disorders in Children and Adolescents

This week's issue of JAMA includes the updated evidence report and systematic review, which evaluated 43 studies. The investigators did not identify direct evidence on the benefits or harms of pediatric screening. There is also an accompanying podcast in which JAMA Editor-in-Chief Dr. Kirsten Bibbons-Domingo speaks with Dr. Lee about the Task Force Recommendation Statement on Screening for Lipid Disorders in Children and Adolescents.
