| Introduction: Normal growth of children is an index of their health. So growth monitoring is a routine service provided in most health care systems. This study has been performed in order to assess the effectiveness of growth monitoring regarding incidence of failure to thrive (FTT) and head circumference. Materials and methods: There was a historical cohort study in which the children who were 12 -14 months old at the time of study under the coverage of health service of Aboozar health center, Tehran medical university, were evaluated. We used linear, logistic and Cox modeling for detecting statistical association of the distinguished variables. Results: There was no significant association between number of growth monitoring visits and the size of head circumference (linear model). In addition to, there was a significant association between the number of growth monitoring visits and incidence of FTT (logistic model). Conclusion: According to our data, it seems that growth monitoring has a preventing role in growth of failure to thrive children. |
