Question: What are the clinical phenotypes and pathogen associations of pediatric and adult Emergency Department visits for abnormal liver function tests?
Finding: Pediatric visits showed fever-predominant profiles with temporal correlations with respiratory viruses, whereas adult visits revealed population-level temporal associations between enteric pathogens and infectious gastroenteritis, upper gastrointestinal disorders, and metabolic comorbidity clustering.
Meaning: These findings provide novel population-level evidence of age-specific pathogen associations and support distinct age-stratified clinical diagnostics.

The suitability of World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts for assessing the growth of children under 3 years of age in all countries remains controversial, and their applicability must be evaluated based on country-specific growth data. The Korea Infant Physical Growth Examination Survey evaluated the suitability of WHO growth charts to contribute to the next revision of growth charts in Korea.
