Proposed addition to "Causes" or "Epidemiology" section (COI edit request)

Hello, I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Truveta and therefore will not edit the article directly. I am requesting an independent editor’s review.

I propose adding a brief, neutral sentence referencing a peer-reviewed study that examined U.S. trends in first-time pediatric speech delays using large-scale electronic health record data. This provides updated epidemiologic information and aligns with the article’s existing discussion of prevalence, risk factors, and causes.

Proposed sentence:

A 2023 time-series analysis using de-identified electronic health record data from multiple U.S. health systems—including those contributing data to Truveta—found that the incidence of first-time pediatric speech delays increased between 2018 and 2022.^[1]

Suggested placement: At the end of the “Causes” section **or** immediately before the “Therapies and treatments” section, where epidemiological patterns and contributing factors are discussed.

Thank you for your consideration.
