    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Child Health
    • Diagnostic Medicine

    Background:

    • Failure to thrive (FTT) is a frequent and complex diagnostic issue encountered in pediatric practice.
    • The definition and underlying causes of FTT remain incompletely understood.
    • A structured diagnostic framework is essential for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a clear definition of failure to thrive in children.
    • To review the prevalence and common etiologies associated with FTT.
    • To present a logical and practical diagnostic strategy for pediatric FTT.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on the definition and epidemiology of FTT.
    • Analysis of etiological factors contributing to pediatric FTT.

  • Development of a stepwise diagnostic algorithm.

    • Main Results:

    • FTT is characterized by inadequate growth in children.
    • Etiologies span nutritional deficits, gastrointestinal issues, endocrine disorders, and psychosocial factors.
    • A systematic approach aids in identifying the root cause.

    Conclusions:

    • Defining FTT is crucial for consistent diagnosis and management.
    • Understanding the diverse etiologies is key to effective intervention.
    • A logical diagnostic pathway improves patient outcomes for children with FTT.
