The main goal of this guideline for preventive child health care (PCHC) is to improve early detection of disorders that induce short stature. Based on research, evidence-based referral criteria for children aged 0-10 years with a short stature were formulated. These criteria are important for all professionals working with children, such as PCHC, general practitioners and paediatricians. Previous referral criteria dated 1997 and titled 'Diagnostics of short stature in children' had a very low specificity and were therefore considerably revised. They should no longer be applied. The guideline also provides information on the cause of short stature, psychosocial aspects and the use of growth hormone.
本儿童预防性保健（PCHC）指南的主要目标是改善对导致身材矮小病症的早期检测。基于研究，制定了0至10岁身材矮小儿童的循证转诊标准。这些标准对所有从事儿童工作的专业人员都很重要，如儿童预防性保健人员、全科医生和儿科医生。1997年发布的名为《儿童身材矮小的诊断》的先前转诊标准特异性很低，因此进行了大幅修订。不应再使用这些标准。该指南还提供了有关身材矮小的原因、心理社会方面以及生长激素使用的信息。
