Summary

Undernutrition is a widely under-diagnosed public health problem, including in pediatrics department. Undernutrition prevalence in pediatrics departments is about 15 to 20%.

Until now, there has been no national consensus on the criteria to be used to diagnose paediatric undernutrition. Until now, assessment focused on a range of non-consensus arguments that allowed the health care team to make its diagnosis. So, in the absence of well-defined criteria, diagnosis was based in part on experience and assesment team.

Since November 2019, the French High Authority of Health (Haute Authorité de Santé - HAS) has suggested recommendations to standardize pediatric undernutrition diagnosis.

The investigators offer to evaluate undernutrition prevalence differences diagnosed according to new HAS criteria compared to the previous diagnostic methodology.

The investigator's secondary aim is to identify profiles of children who do match between the two diagnostics methods.
