Assessment And Monitoring

AbstractSpecific growth charts for children with Down syndrome (DS) have been developed in several countries, but not in Thailand. This pilot study aims to develop growth patterns for Thai children with DS, which will help clinicians to improve assessment and monitoring of the growth patterns for these children. A retrospective review of 80 children with DS who received care at Thammasat University Hospital between 2014 and 2018 was conducted. A total of 1,681 length/height and weight measurements were collected. Four sex-specific growth patterns of length/height and weight were generated with the fifth, 50th, and 95th percentile. The children with DS were lower in weight and shorter than general Thai children and children with DS in other countries. Therefore, each country should develop individual DS growth charts.

Healthy Functioning

Among the most common genetic anomalies in early childhood are those with Down syndrome. The incidence of such children in the total infant population is 1 in 800. It was found that treatment for healthy functioning of children with Down syndrome is impossible because their suffering is a consequence of genetic disorder. The aim of this paper is to identify the psychophysical growth patterns of people with Down syndrome and to present results of individual psychocorrection work aimed at developing skills for their social adaptation.
