Improving obesity prevention and treatment in GPS clinic H Sonali Magdo, DO PGY 2 CHLA
Health consequences of obesity in childhood5,6 • Type II DM • Hypertension • OSA • Depression/low self esteem • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease • SCFE • Pseudotumor cerebri
Objectives 1. Review existing literature on childhood obesity 2. Identify the obstacles faced by physicians in a general pediatrics clinic in assessing and treating children who are overweight through use of survey 3. Provide physicians in GPS clinic with resources to improve prevention/ management of overweight and obesity
Assessment of PCP management of obesity4 • Of all children who met criteria for obesity, only 53% of visits documented obesity • 69% documented an adequate dietary history • 15% documented activity level
Survey results clinic resources Survey Results: 1. Lack of time to counsel patients 2. Lack of clinic guidelines for disease management 3. Lack of knowledge of community programs Intervention: 1. Nutritional intake form 2a. Creation of chart (adapted from Pediatric Annals article) for reference in clinic b. Weight check form 3. Creation of booklet compiling community programs for overweight/obese children in LA
Clinic flow chart Adapted fromAriza AJ, RS Greenberg, R Unger. Childhood overweight: management approaches in young children. Pediatric Annals. January 2004; 33(1): 33-38.
