Abstract
"This paper presents the incidence of growth failure in 44 patients for which no organic cause was discovered after investi gation. This group of patients, collectively termed failure-to-thrive, represents the sec ond largest diagnostic category of patients with growth failure admitted to a children's hospital in one year. An examination of various features of this group from a review of the medical and psychosocial histories is made and changes in growth patterns in hos pitalization and follow up are documented."Keywords
