To compare five anthropometric methods of classifying failure to thrive in order to ascertain their relative merits in predicting developmental, dietary, and eating problems.
The five anthropometric methods were compared in 83 children with failure to thrive.
The methods were inconsistent in classification of severity, and no one method was superior in predicting problems.
Weight alone, being the simplest, is still the most reasonable marker for failure to thrive and associated problems.
比较五种用于对发育不良进行分类的人体测量方法,以确定它们在预测发育、饮食和进食问题方面的相对优点。
对83名发育不良儿童的五种人体测量方法进行比较。
这些方法在严重程度分类上不一致,且没有一种方法在预测问题方面更具优势。
仅体重作为最简单的指标,仍然是发育不良及相关问题最合理的标志。
