Abstract:

Definition CLASSIFICATION AND TYPOLOGY Although the diagnosis of "failure to thrive" (FTT) is made frequently, both the meaning of the term and its value as a diagnosis remain debatable. Because any serious disease can cause growth failure, the term FTT has little diagnostic usefulness. Classically, the etiology of FTT has been divided into organic and nonorganic types, with nonorganic FTT defined as growth deficiency without a diagnosable medical etiology and organic FTT defined as growth failure caused by a specific medical illness. A number of authors have questioned the adequacy of this di

Abstract:

Failure to thrive (FTT) is a common symptom leading to hospitalization of children. Most literature describing this population is from 30 years ago. Since that time the hospitalized population has become more medically complex. We aimed to describe children hospitalized for FTT in a tertiary care pediatric hospital. We prospectively collected demographic, anthropometric, evaluation, and outcome data for 92 consecutive children admitted with FTT. The majority of children grew with behavioral interventions alone (primary nonorganic FTT) and had negative evaluation (n = 63). Children with primary

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe majority of cases of failure to thrive (FTT) are non‐organic. Many of these patients present with significant decreased caloric intake. It appears as if the appetite regulation center in the hypothalamus is not attuned to the calorie requirements of the infant.ObjectiveOur hypothesis was that some cases of non‐organic FTT might be caused by abnormalities in hunger/satiety control secondary to neuroendocrine or cytokine imbalance. The aim of this study was to investigate which hormonal/cytokine profiles could be assigned to a defined category of FTT, namely organic, psycho

Abstract:

Failure to thrive (FTT) in infants is a common clinical concern, with multiple etiologies, including food allergies. Cow milk protein intolerance (CMPI) is one of the most prevalent food allergies in infants and can contribute to FTT. The prevalence of CMPI in infants with FTT in Pakistan remains underexplored, warranting this investigation. Objective: To determine the prevalence of cow milk protein intolerance (CMPI) in infants with failure to thrive in Pakistan's hospital setting.

Abstract:

The aetiology of failure to thrive (FTT) in children is broad, of which some conditions are extremely rare. It is important to consider these rarer conditions, especially in the setting of other concerning signs/symptoms or when there is no improvement with conventional treatment. In this case report we highlight such a rare condition—chylomicron retention disease (CRD) as an aetiology of FTT. CRD often presents with non-specific symptoms, resulting in delayed diagnosis which is established by genetic workup and histology from small intestinal biopsies. Despite being rare, CRD needs to be cons

Abstract:

Failure to thrive (FTT) is an abnormal growth pattern determined by inadequate nutrition. It is a common problem in children, representing 5% to 10% of patients seen in an outpatient setting. Many definitions have been proposed based on anthropometric deterioration; however, they show poor concordance. No single definition is sufficiently sensitive in identifying faltering growth whilst a combination of multiple criteria seems more accurate. In light of the recent redefinition of pediatric malnutrition as a disequilibrium between requirements and intakes of energy, and macro- and micronutrient

Growth faltering (GF), also known as failure-to-thrive (FTT), is a serious health threat in both adults and children that forensic nurses (FNs) may encounter.

GF and FTT are symptoms, not final diagnoses. Therefore, FNs should use critical thinking and assessment skills to identify the underlying causes.

Failure to thrive (FTT) impairs the expected normal physical growth of children. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cyproheptadine hydrochloride on growth parameters in prepubertal children with FTT. The medical records of prepubertal children who were newly diagnosed with FTT at China Medical University Hospital between 2007 and 2016 were retrospectively examined. The patients were divided into two groups depending on whether they had (T-group) or had not (NT-group) received cyproheptadine hydrochloride (0.3 mg/kg daily) for at least 14 days.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Failure to thrive (FTT) is a common developmental disorder in infants. Although the improvement effect of zinc supplementation in these patients was reported in some past studies, the results were conflicting. Accordingly, this study investigates the effect of zinc supplementation on factors related to growth in infants with FTT by conducting a meta-analysis. Methods: Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were comprehensively searched to find randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of zinc on growth-related factors in infants with FTT.

Osteopetrosis (Marble bone disease) is a very rare congenital genetic disease of skeleton, resulting from defective bone resorption, due to functionally defective osteoclast, leading to accumulation of excessive bone mass. Malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIO) is one of the varieties of osteopetrosis, which is fatal and is diagnosed in early infancy. Malignant infantile osteopetrosis is present with abnormal bone remodeling, hematological abnormities, features of extramedullary hematopoiesis. Radiology is the key of diagnosis.

Abstract:

Failure to thrive (FTT) in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) can be attributed to their low energy intakes and high resting energy expenditures. Energy intake, energy expenditure and growth were studied in infants with CHD on normal formula feeds and then on feeds supplemented with glucose polymer to see whether supplementation improved energy retention and growth. Mean gross energy intakes increased by 31.7% on high-energy feeding and mean weight gain improved from 1.3 g/kg per d on control to 5.8 g/kg per d on high-energy feeding. Resting oxygen consumption (νo2 ml/kg per min) was

Abstract:

IntroductionShort stature caused by growth hormone (GH) deficiency is one of the causes of the “Failure to Thrive” (FTT) condition. In absence of clear organic causes, several different psychosocial conditions may play a role in explaining the FTT phenotype. Advances in developmental psychology have highlighted the role of emotions and caregiving behaviors in the organization of child's personality and psychobiology, with the mother–son attachment bond being considered a fundamental developmental experience.

Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental syndrome of genetic origin that mainly affects females. Individuals diagnosed with RS exhibit a variety of functional difficulties that impair their quality of life. One of the affected systems is the digestive system, where 74% of persons with RS have abnormal functioning. The affected digestive system causes this population to present an array of problems, such as gastroesophageal reflux (GER), constipation, and malnutrition, leading to failure to thrive (FTT), which resolves in reduced functional ability.
