Mapping the gaps: A scoping review of research on pediatric feeding disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) is defined as impaired oral intake that is not age-appropriate, and is associated with medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and/or psychosocial dysfunction. As PFD is prevalent and increasing, so are publications on the topic; however, the research literature is often disparate in terminology used and siloed by discipline. Greater understanding of the current research concerning PFD will help identify areas in need of further study. The purpose of this scoping review is to examine the extent, range, and nature of research activities concerning PFD and to identify gaps in the empirical literature.

Methods

Three electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO) were searched using terms related to pediatric feeding disor
