Objectives• To define failure to thrive (FTT)• To identify major classification of FTT
•To discuss diagnostic workup of FTT •To discuss treatment of FTT

Things We Will Not Cover
• Geriatric FTT– Am Fam Physician. 2004 Jul
15;70(2):248, 257.– Rehabil Nurs. 2005 Jul-Aug;30(4):152-
9
• Adolescent FTT
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
10
Things We Will Not Cover
• Other specific causes (e.g.)– Congenital defects – Celiac disease– HIV/AIDS– Metabolic disorders– CHF (reference for Jenny)
• Prog Pediatr Cardiol. 2000 Sep 1;11(3):195-202.

Why Do We Have to Talk About it at All?
• Personal– Depending on current status in app. 9, 21, or 32
months you will sit for the ABFP (13%-pediatrics)– ACGME competencies / AAFP core recommendations
• Patients– Parental concerns
• Doc, is my baby growing right?– Cognitive development
• Arch Dis Child. 2005 Sep;90(9):925-31. Epub 2005 May 12.
• J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2004 Mar;45(3):641-54.

Clinical Vignette
• 15 month old admitted with lethargy from dermatology office
• Prior to admit, several days of decreased activity
• Med hx remarkable for eczema, treated with topical steroids
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
13
Clinical Vignette• Wgt and ht both below 5th
percentile, but had grown along the 25th percentile until age 4mo
• Extensive erythematous plaques on her back, diaper region, thighs, and polpliteal fossa bilaterally
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
14
Clinical Vignette
• What concerns you about this child
• What history questions should you ask
• What labs would you order• How would you manage pt’s care
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
15
Okay, Tell Me What Happens Next -
• Afternoon clinic• 10 Patients scheduled
– Everyone of them showed up
• Your 5th pt is new & has a typed list
• It’s 4:00 and you are on pt 6 who happens to be a 9 mo well child

We’re not alone• In England, 54% of GP failed to
diagnosis FTT• Residency clinic, 41% with delayed
dx• Residency clinic, 29 dx, 100% dx
incorrectly
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
18
FTT – Definition
“Inadequate physical growth diagnosed by observation of growth over time using a standard growth chart”
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
19
Normal Growth• Average wgt 7 lbs (3kg)
– Double by 4 months, triple by 12• Grow 25 cm in length during 1st
year• Make sure you have the right chart
– Premature– Breastfeeding – www.cdc.gov/growthcharts
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
20
FTT Criteria
• Ht/Wgt less than 3rd to 5th percentile for age on >1 occasion
• Ht or Wgt falling 2 major percentiles• Below 10th percentile for ht/wgt• < 80% of ideal body wgt for age• Head circumference important, but
not part of FTT entity
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
21
FTT• HISTORY ! HISTORY! HISTORY!
– Prenatal– Feeding
• # oz needed in 24 hours – Wgt (kgs) x 5 (need 100 kcal/kg/day)
• How formula prepared• Good diet history (3 day journal)
– Bowel habits
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
22
FTT• Physical
– Gomez Criteria• <60 = severe; 61-75 = mod; 76-90 = mild
– Kwashiorkor – protein malnourishment– Marasmus – caloric deficiency– Short Stature Syndrome– Constitutional Delay
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
23
FTT - Classification• Organic FTT
– Pre/postnatal
• Nonorganic FTT (NOFT)– Pre/postnatal
• Mixed (25%)
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
24
FTT - Classification• Organic FTT
– Prenatal Causes• Prematurity w/complications• Toxic exposure
– Postnatal• Inadequate intake
– Lack of appetite– Inability to suck/swallow
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
25
FTT - Classification• Organic, postnatal cont.
• Poor absorption and/or use of nutrients– GI disorder (celiac, CF)– Inborn errors of metabolism
• Increased metabolic demand– Hyperthyroidism– Chronic Disease
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
26
FTT - Classification• Nonorganic
– Prenatal• Malnourished mother• ? Lack of prenatal bonding
– Postnatal• Poor feeding skills/disorder• Dysfunctional family• Difficult parent-child interactions• Difficult Child• Abuse/Neglect

FTT - Workup• +/- Basic screening labs
– CBC, Chemistry, & UA
• Specific test directed by history– HIV, ESR, TSH, Sweat chloride test,
serum IGF-I, serum IgA/IgG antigliadin antibiodies
• X-rays for bone age
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
30
FTT – Treatment• High calorie diet for catch up growth
– 150% of recommended daily caloric intake based on expected wgt
• +/- Feeding behavior modification• Psychosocial involvement/
intervention• Close follow up
– Physical and cognitive delays• Hospitalization when necessary

Clinical Vignette
• 15 month old admitted with lethargy from dermatology office
• Prior to admit, several days of decreased activity
• Med hx remarkable for eczema, treated with topical steroids

• Extensive erythematous plaques on her back, diaper region, thighs, and polpliteal fossa bilaterally

33
Clinical Vignette• What concerns you about this
child• What history questions should you
ask• What labs would you order• How would you manage pt’s care
04/11/23 Failure to Thrive Shannon Pittman, M.D.
34
Summary: G.R.O.W.T.H.
• Gather history and extensive physical
• Remember genetic contribution• Only order basic labs in initial eval• Wonder about zebras• Track growth trends• Hospitalize or hormonally treat

Take Home
The keys to diagnosing FTT is finding the time to accurately measure and
plot wgt/ht and then access the trend
