Failure to thrive affects the lives of many infants and young
children at critical times in their development and represents a
significant public health problem in the United States. Moreover,
this condition is invisible and can affect children for long
periods of time before it is recognized. The long-term psychosocial
sequelae of failure to thrive have only begun to be recognized but
may be more severe than first realized. We do know that the costs
to society in terms of acute pediatric hospitalization and
long-term rehabilitation, foster care, and mental health treatment
of young children who present with failure to thrive are
considerable. Children who are diagnosed with failure to thrive
represent a special challenge and opportunity for intervention,
especially preventive intervention, because it is quite possible
that many of the long-term consequences of this condi tion on
psychological development can be lessened via early recognition and
intervention. However, the potential for preventive intervention in
failure to thrive has been limited by the state of the art in
scientific knowledge and practice. Despite the frequency with which
failure to thrive is encounter ed in ambulatory and inpatient
settings, there is little scientific infor mation to guide
practitioners. Research on the causes and consequences of failure
to thrive has been very much limited by small sample sizes, lack of
common definitions, and short follow-up periods. Uncertainties in
the science of failure to thrive coincide with the considerable
practical difficulties involved in diagnosis and inte vention."
