Pediatric patients refer to children and adolescents who are typically under the age of 18 years. Research in this area focuses on the health and well-being of young individuals, including medical conditions, treatments, and interventions specifically designed for this population. This research often involves studying the unique physiological and developmental aspects of children, as well as examining the impact of various factors such as genetics, environment, and social determinants of health on their health outcomes. Ultimately, the goal of pediatric research is to improve the health and quality of life of children and adolescents through evidence-based practices and interventions.
