Several conditions are often the focus of early detection in pediatrics:
- Congenital Disorders: Conditions like Down syndrome and congenital heart defects are often detected through prenatal screening or early postnatal check-ups. - Infectious Diseases: Early detection of diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella through vaccination and monitoring can prevent outbreaks and complications. - Chronic Conditions: Conditions such as asthma and diabetes can be detected through routine check-ups and specific tests. - Behavioral and Mental Health Issues: Early signs of ADHD or anxiety can be identified through behavioral assessments and parental reports.
