Lecture 2 (Peds)-Exam 1 Flashcards
Failure to Thrive (FTT)
* No what?
* What is the definition?
* All definitions identify children with FTT as having what?
* Underlying cause is always related to what?
- A descriptive term with no consensus on definition
- Inadequate physical growth diagnosed by observation of growth overtime using a standard growth chart (CDC, WHO)
- All definitions identify children with FTT as having low weight in relation to age or length or insufficient weight gain over time
- Underlying cause always related to inadequate nutrition
Failure to thrive- 2024 ICD-10-CM Dx code
* A clinical finding indication what?
* A condition of what?
- A clinical finding indicating less than normal growth in infancy or early childhood
- A condition of substandard growth or diminished capacity to maintain normal function.
Failure to thrive- 2024 ICD-10-CM Dx code
* Growth disorder of infants and children due to what?
* Inability to do what?
* Applicable to who?
- Growth disorder of infants and children due to nutritional and/or emotional deprivation and resulting in loss of weight and delayed physical, emotional, and social development.
- Inability to grow and develop normally
- Applicable to pediatric patients aged 0 - 17 years inclusive
FTT
* What are the percentages of children admitted to any hospital, children hospitals and all clinics?
What is there is a higher prevalence of: stunting, wasting, overweight?
Stunting and wasting is way more of an issue than overweight
Causes of FTT- Organic
* Acute chronic disorders that interfere with what? Give 9 examples?
Causes of FTT- NonOrganic
* What is the cause? Give 9 examples
What is going on when a baby’s is highlighter green?
Mom’s breast milk is high in sugar and low in fats
FTT- Clinical features
* What happens with bowl mvts?
* Crying?
* Sleep?
* Mood?
* Lack of what?
- Constipation (not enough calories+fats to have mvt)
- Excessive crying
- Excessive sleepiness (lethargy)
- Irritability
- Lack of interest in feeding
FTT- Clinical features
* Dlayed what? (3)
* Appearing what?
* Abnormal what?
- Delayed rolling, sitting, standing, walking
- Delayed social skills
- Delayed puberty
- Appearing much smaller than age expectations
- Abnormal growth curves
FTT-Dx
* Assess what?
* What does not match?
- Assess growth curves
- Height, weight, and head circumference do not match standard growth charts
FTT Dx
* What is going on with weight? (2)
* Growth that is what?
* What is the difference btw non-organic and organic?
- Weight <3% of standard growth charts
- Weight 20% below the ideal weight for their height
- Growth that has slowed or stopped
- Non organic: Weight curve affect; Organic: all curves affected
Failure to Thrive: Dx
* What do you need to assess?
* Evaluate what?
- Assess Pmhx (birth hx, chronic illness, surgeries, chronic disease)
- Assess Social hx (living situation, parental support/resources/education)
- Asses parent-child interaction
- Evaluate development (ASQ)
Do this to rule out DDXs
Failure to Thrive: Dx
* What do you need to obtain?
* What do you need to complete? (2)
* What do you need to observe?
- Obtain nutritional history and document (breastfeed, bottle, table foods, amount)
- Complete ROS (stooling patterns, vomiting, urination, activity levels)
- Complete PE (dysmorphic features, signs of malnutrition/child abuse, clues to underlying disease)
- Observe feeding when available
Do this to rule out DDXs
FTT: DX
* What do you need to get for organic causes? List them (4)
Labs are obtained if PE, history and all other screening are suggestive of possible Organic Cause
Initial tests:
* CBC w/diff
* CRP
* ESR
* UA w/culture & sensitivity
MOST COMMON in ages under 2
FTT: DX
* What are Additional tests (if history or PE suggest the need)? (9)
- CMP
- Thyroid panel
- Celiac panel
- Sweat chloride test
- Stool studies
- TB skin testing
- HIV
- Xrays (cardiopulmonary diseae, bone age, child abuse if suspected)
- Advanced imaging (abdominal U/S, abdominal or head CT, endoscopy
FTT: Treatment and management
* Identify what?
* What type of intervention? (create what)
* Consider what type of referrals?
- Identify cause and treat or refer when appropriate
- Nutrition and feeding intervention (create feeding plan/schedule, increase daily caloric intake)
- Consider referral: Lactation, Nutrition, Speech, OT, Social work (if food resource issue), Psych (if parent-child divison)
FTT: Treatment/management
* Frequent what?
* What might be require?
* Parent _
* Involve who?
- Frequent follow-up appointments with provider to monitor growth
- Hospitalization (severe cases requiring enteral nutrition)
- Parent Education
- Involve Child Protective Services when appropriate
FTT
* What is the goal?
* What is the parent education portion (4)?
Goal is to create support for caregiver
* Dietary Advice (breastfeeding, formula, foods high in calories)
* Feeding Schedule (increase frequency)
* Feeding Behavior (avoid food battles)
* Feeding Environment (avoid distractions)
Failure to Thrive (FTT)
* Give parents what?
* Faciliate what?
- Give parents a plan to follow, discuss goals and follow up schedule
- Facilitation of access to WIC, food stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Failure to Thrive (FTT)
* What does 2.1.1, hunger and health organization and myplate provide?
- 2.1.1 -Provides information about school lunch programs, summer food programs, soup kitchens, community gardens, and government-sponsored food programs
- HungerandHealth.org -Provides a food bank locator and other resources households without enough food
- MyPlate -Provides tip sheets and recipes for healthy eating at low cost
Growth Delay:
* Also known as what?
* What is it?
- Also known as Delayed growth of childhood or Short Stature
- A term applied to a child whose height is 2 standard deviations (SD) or more below the mean for children of that sex and chronologic age (and ideally of the same racial-ethnic group)
Height issue
Growth Delay
* Often coreesponds to what?
* Child with what?
* may be what? (2)
- Often corresponds to a height that is < 3rd percentile
- Child with height below that expected based on genetic potential
- May be either a variant of normal growth or caused by a disease
What are the normal variants of growth delay? (4)
- Familial or genetic short stature
- Constitutional delay of growth and puberty
- Idiopathic short stature
- Small for gestational age infants with catch-up growth
What are the pathological causes of growth delay? (3)
- Endocrine causes (hypothyroid)
- Genetic diseases (turner’s, decrease GH)
- Skeletal dysplasia (osteogenesis perfecta)
Growth Delay: Clinical Findings of Normal Variant
* Confimed by what?
* PE without what?
* Development appropriate for what?
- Confirmed accurate measurements of length/height with decreased height velocity
- PE without signs of symptoms of disease (no patho sxs)
- Development appropriate for age without abnormalities
Growth Delay: Diagnosis of Normal Variant
* Assessment of what?
* Calculation of what?
* Absence of what?
* Normal what?
* _ Age
- Assessment of growth curves
- Calculation of estimated genetic height (mid-parental height)
- Absence of Genetic condition or disease process
- Normal Development (maintaining milestones)
- Bone Age
Growth Delay:
* Estimate what? What are the calculations for boys and girls?
Estimated Genetic Height Calculation (no not memorize but need to know concept)
* For boys: [paternal height + (maternal height + 5 inches or 13 centimeters)] / 2
* For girls: [maternal height + (paternal height – 5 inches or 13 centimeters)] / 2
Growth delay: Bone age
* Represents what?
* Most commonly based on what?
* Bones in the x-ray are compared to what?
- Represents degree of maturation of a child’s bones
- Most commonly based on a single x-ray of the left hand, fingers, and wrist
- Bones in the x-ray are compared to the bones of a standard atlas, The Greulich & Pyle (GP) Atlas
- Need to do this at a min of 5 yo
- Good to be younger because they will grow longer
Growth Delay: familial short stature
* Normal what?
* Height is what?
* Genetic height potential estimated by what?
* What does the growth chart look like?
- Normal variant
- Height is hereditary
- Genetic height potential estimated by calculating the mid-parental height
