Time to regain birth weight predicts neonatal growth velocity: A single-center experience

Failure to Thrive (FTT) describes the development of an inappropriate pattern of growth, generally secondary to inadequate nutritional intake, and is associated with several negative outcomes. We describe key features among neonates with FTT as well as the variables that predicted their growth after...

A retrospective single center study of 340 patients grouped into FTT (n = 100) and non-FTT (n = 240) was conducted. FTT was defined as having a weight
