Who are Considered Younger Patients in Pediatrics?
In pediatrics, younger patients typically refer to children from birth through adolescence, generally up to 18 years of age. This demographic is often further divided into neonates (0-28 days), infants (1-12 months), toddlers (1-3 years), preschoolers (3-5 years), school-aged children (6-12 years), and adolescents (13-18 years).
