Study summary
Assessment of growth and development of children with inborn errors of metabolism in Assiut Governorate
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
* Under five years old children with confirmed diagnosis of IEM.
* Attending the study settings.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients diagnosed since birth with dysmorphic features.
* Patients diagnosed since birth with congenital anomalies.
* Patients with other neurological deficits (e.g. cerebral palsy, convulsions, birth anoxia…..)
Primary outcome measure(s)
- • To assess weight (in kilograms) of children with IEM in Assiut governorate. — 1 year
The weight will be measured to the nearest 0.1Kg and the patients in light clothes and bare feet. The child weight will be measured and the measurements will be plotted on the Egyptian growth charts of girls and boys for different ages from birth to five years old in order to assess their growth. - • To assess height (in meters) of children with IEM in Assiut governorate. — 1 year
If the child is less than 2 years old or is unable to stand recumbent length will be measured to the nearest 0.1 cm. If the child is aged 2 years or older and able to stand, standing height will be measured to the nearest 0.1 cm. The child height will be measured and the measurements will be plotted on the Egyptian growth charts of girls and boys for different ages from birth to five years old in order to assess their growth. - • To assess the body mass index for age (BMI for age in kg/m^2) of children with IEM in Assiut governorate. — 1 year
Body mass index for age (BMI for age) will be calculated in kg/m\^2 and plotted on the Egyptian growth charts of girls and boys for different ages from birth to five years old in order to assess their growth. - To assess development of children with IEM in Assiut governorate using the arabic version of the third edition of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires. — 1 year
The Arabic version of the third edition of the Ages \& Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3) will be used to identify developmental growth in children from one month to five and a half years . it measures development in 5 key domains: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social domain. Each response on the questionnaire will be converted to a numerical value (usually equal to 10, occasionally to 5, and not yet to 0) in order to determine the score, then each domain's overall score will be summed. ASQ-3 has three scoring zones and the higher the score the better the child development for each developmental area separately. - • To assess knowledge of the mother regarding the child metabolic disease and dietary recommendations using a questionnaire to be designed. — 1 year
Knowledge regarding the child inborn metabolic diseases such as disease definition, symptoms necessitate immediate hospital admission, disease complications, dietary requirement and restrictions. - Assessment of mother's practice using a questionnaire to be designed. — 1 year
Dietary practice, child care, vaccination and follow up.
