Screening for speech and language delay in children 5 years old and younger: a systematic review.
This review aimed to update the evidence on screening and treating children for speech and language delay since the 2006 US Preventive Services Task Force systematic review. It concluded that several screening tools can accurately identify children for diagnostic evaluations and interventions, but evidence is inadequate regarding applicability in primary care settings.

Opportunities for earlier HIV diagnosis in a pediatric ED.
The researchers sought to determine whether there were opportunities for earlier HIV diagnosis in the PED for a cohort of young adults diagnosed with HIV. They concluded that there are opportunities for earlier diagnosis of HIV in PEDs, affirming the importance of HIV screening implementation in these settings. However, PEDs are unlikely to have the same frequency of contact with undiagnosed individuals as do adult EDs.

Screening and routine supplementation for iron deficiency anemia: a systematic review.
The goal of this study was to review the evidence regarding the benefits and harms of screening and routine supplementation for IDA for the US Preventive Services Task Force. It found that no studies assessed the benefits or harms of screening or the association between improvement in impaired iron status and clinical outcomes.

Screening for primary hypertension in children and adolescents.
This article presents a case study about a 14-year-old black adolescent who presents for a routine school physical examination. Her mother tells you that she and her husband have hypertension, and they worry about their daughter’s blood pressure. She asks you whether her child should be periodically checked for high blood pressure. The case study was coordinated with the AHRQ-administered US Preventive Services Task Force and published online on the American Academy of Family Practice website.
