  • Title: A New Approach to Comprehensive Growth and Nutrition Assessment in Children.
    Author: Sentongo T.
    Journal: Pediatr Ann; 2019 Nov 01; 48(11):e425-e433. PubMed ID: 31710361.
    Abstract:
    A new approach to comprehensive growth and nutrition assessment of infants, children, and adolescents that is etiology based and relatively simple to implement is now available. It encompasses five domains: anthropometry (growth measurements), assessment of change in growth (growth dynamism), duration of the growth abnormalities, etiology of the nutritional imbalance, and impact of the nutritional state on functional outcomes. Its increased use will help to standardize the screening, diagnosis, and documentation of malnutrition in both ambulatory and hospitalized patients. [Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(11):e425-e433.].
