Abstract

High-risk infantile hemangiomas may be associated with significant patient comorbidity. The American Academy of Pediatrics published clinical practice guidelines with recommendations to refer high-risk hemangiomas early. The results of this study suggest that these guidelines may have resulted in an earlier referral age of patients with high-risk IH to hemangioma specialists.
