    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This cross sectional study was done to assess the developmental status in children (6-30 mo old) with severe acute malutrition (SAM). METHODS: Study subjects were enrolled from children in SAM therapeutic unit, and controls were selected from well-baby clinic of the institute. Neurodevelopment of both groups was assessed using the Developmental assessment scale of Indian infants (DASII). Developmental quotient (DQ) ≤70 was considered delayed. RESULTS: Mean (SE) motor DQ 59.04 (0.74) and mental DQ 62.1 (0.57) was lower in SAM as compared to controls (both P<0.0001). Clusters of early age were normal but clusters with items of later infancy were delayed. CONCLUSION: Children with SAM show significant delay in development, and motor DQ is affected more than mental DQ.
