P212: The differential diagnosis of joint hypermobility in prepubertal children with suspected EDS
Abstract
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Center of Excellence at Children’s Hospital Colorado was opened in late 2019 to meet the needs of pediatric and young adult patients with suspected EDS. We have seen more than 4000 patient visits, representing more than 900 unique patients. Younger patients are more challenging to evaluate, as the 2017 criteria for diagnosing Hypermobile EDS are based on adults. The newer publication which clarifies the phenotype in younger patients, is designed for patients older than age 5.
