Childx Project

Children's Health Improvement Through Laboratory Diagnostics

kidsThe CHILDx (pronounced “Child Diagnostics”) project is an ARUP-sponsored initiative dedicated to improving the health care of children by improving pediatric laboratory medicine and by working together with other health-care professionals in a collaborative, academic, and clinical environment. CHILDx is composed of members from the United States and Canada and is chaired by ARUP’s Marzia Pasquali, PhD

CHILDx sponsors an annual fall symposium on topics of interest regarding children’s health and publishes articles on similar topics. Development of age- and gender-specific reference intervals for laboratory tests in children age 1 to 17 years is an ongoing project that has led to several publications.
