Growth & Development
pediatrics growth and development quick revision notesGrowth - Increase in physical size ( MCQ)
Development - Attainment of maturity of functions ( MCQ)
Principal of G&D:
- Universal & Unique
- growth and development is continuous and orderly process
- growth and development occur in cephalocaudal (direction of head neck arm leg ) and proximodistal (central to peripheral ) order
Anthropometry
- Height
- Weight
- Head circumference
- Mid-arm circumference
- Body mass index
- Skin fold thickness
•(3 zones: Red, Yellow, Green)
- <11.5cm -> Red (malnutrition)
- 11.5 – 12.5cm -> Yellow ( borderline malnutrition )
- > 12.5 cm -Green (good nutrition)
BMI = Weight (kg) x100 ÷ Height (m2) ( MCQ)
skin-fold thickness is measured by Herpenden Caliper ( MCQ)
Growth Charts - Graphical representation of the growth norms.
Growth chart of choice is WHO growth chart
WHO growth chart
- came in 2006
- Based on MGRS
- M- Multicentre
- G- Growth
- R- Reference
- S- study
Exclusively breast fed children from 6 Month
Weight - Birth weight of an average (MCQ)
Indian baby - 2:8 kg
Suppose, at birth, weight is in W
-- At 5 months : 2W (Birth weight doubles at 5 months)
At birth = W
• At 5 months = 2 W (Doubles)
• At 1 year = 3W (Triples)
At 2 years = 4W
• At 3 years = 5W
• At. 5 years = 6W
• At 7 years = 7W
- At 10 years = 10W
Expected weight of a child < 1yr
EW= x+9 /2 (x = age in months)
example- 7 month old , EW = 7x+9 /2=8 kg
EW for 1-6 year =2x+8 (x = age in years)
EW for 7-12 year = 7x- 5 / 2 (x = age in year ) ,
- Height - ≥ 2 yr age
- Length - < 2 yr age
Device used is stadiometer (for height)
Length is measured by using Infantometer
Length of newborn at birth 50 cm
- At 1 yr - 75cm
Maximum growth takes place in the first year of life
- At 2yr - 90 cm
- At 4yr - 100 cm
* Expected height = 6Y+77 cm (Y = age in years)
eg: 5yr — 6x5+77 = 107cm
Upper segment (US): Lower segment (LS)
- US - Part of body above symphysis pubis
- LS - Part of body below the symphysis pubis
At 3 years →1.3 : 1
At 7 years → 1:1
Endocrine causes GH deficiency
(In GH deficiency, US:LS is normal always)
Head circumference
* Also known as OFC (Occipito-frontal circumference)
Measured using non-stretchable measuring tape with millimetre markings too.
At birth = 33-35 cm (MCQ)
Rate of increase in HC
• First 3 months -- @ 2cm/month
• Next 3 months -- @ 1 cm/month
Next 6 months → @ 0.5cm/month
Next 2 years → @0.2 cm/month
so maximum increase at first 3 months
example -35 cm at birth, when it becomes 43 cm?
At birth - 35
- 1m- 37
- 2m - 39
- 3m - 41
- 4m - 42
- 5m -- 43cm
< - 3 SD (standard deviation) of expected based on age & sex.
Macrocephaly
(Large head) & Defined as head circumference
> + 2 SD of expected according to age and sex
MCC of obstructive hydrocephalus in children Aqueductal stenosis
V-P shunt (ventriculo peritoneal shunt)
Dentition
Teeth development.
2 types:
1) primary (milk teeth)
2) Secondary (permanent teeth)
1st dentition begins usually begins at 6-7 months (6>7) (MCQ)
2nd dentition begins at 6 years
Milk teeth
- begins 6-7 months
- 1st tooth is lower central incisor
- last - 2nd-mollar
- completes at 2.5 - 3yr (2.5 <3) (MCQ)
- Total 20 teeth
last-3rd molar - teeth (wisdom teeth)
completes at-12 yr (except 3rd molar tooth)
Total- 28 - 32
Normal puberty
Neonante→1st 28 days
Infant →1st year of life

Adolescence (BY WHO)- 10-19 (MCQ)
Normal puberty in females :
* First sign- Thelarche (breast bud development)
☆ Then pubarche (pubic & axillary hairs)
Growth spurt (peak increase in growth velocity (Second phase of a growth after 1 yr)
Menarche (beginning of menstrual periods)
Normal puberty in males:
* First sign of puberty →Testicular enlargement
Penile enlargement
Pubic hairs

DEVELOPMENT
* DQ: Developmental quotient
* DQ -( Developmental age/Chronological age) x100
* Chronological age is actual age; dev. age is milestones he can do in reference to age
Q: DQ =50, chro.age = 6 find DA =?
50 = (dev.age/6) x100
dev.age = (50x6)/100

NEONATOLOGY
Neonate -- first 28 days ☆ Called as neonatal period
- Early NP -(1st 7 days)
- Late NP(day 7-28)
(I) According to gestational age.
- Term born b/w -37 weeks completed to < 42 weeks gestation
- pre-term-born- <37 wks
- Post- term born- ≥ 42 wks
(II) Based on birth weight. (MCQ)
•LBW (low birth weight) <2500gm (<2.5kg)
• VLBW (very low weight) < 1500 gm (<1.5 kg)
• ELBW (extremely low weight)< 1000 gm (<1 kg)
(1) Based on gestational age and birth weight:
Appropriate for date / appropriate gestational age (AFD /AGA) ~ birth weight is between 10th to 90th percentile of expected acc. to gestational age
a small for date -> birth weight 10th percentile of expected acc. to gestational age
* Large for date birth weight 90th percentile of expected ace to gestational age
Causes of Large for date
- Impact of diabetic mother
- Congenital hypothyroidism
a healthy term neonate
* Birth wt -2.8kg
* Length - 50 cm
* US:LS 1.7-1.9:1
* HC - > 33-35 cm .
Peripheral cyanosis or acrocyanosis
* Short soft systolic murmur may be normally present (it is a blood flow to lungs not related with heart)
mcq→ Tool used to assess gestational age is a neonate is
