Overview
Amidst rapidly rising infant and child death rates, Dr. Henry Dwight was the first to add a clean environment and constant supervision to the management strategy of failure to thrive patients. As time has progressed, red flags and the present strategy of nutritional rehabilitation followed by a vigilant and prolonged follow up period has been developed.
Historical Perspective
- In the early 1900s, infant and child death rates in the United States were skyrocketing.
- In 1915, an American pediatrician, Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin, institutionalized marasmic infants under constant medical and nursing supervision. [1]
- He reported decreased mortality rates with this strategy of a multidisciplinary approach, nutritional rehabilitation and maintaining a proper home environment.
- In 1952, Rene Spitz used the term ‘hospitalism’ for children who presented with growth failure, malnutrition and anaclitic depression.
- He noticed a synergy between caloric deprivation and lack of emotional stimulation causing failure to thrive.
- In 1957, Coleman and Provence concluded that failure to thrive could only be avoided in the complete absence of emotional or caloric deprivation and in the presence of a good home environment.
