Abstract

Child malnutrition is a major global health problem, including here inThailand. It can affect a child's growth as well as cognitive development. Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiology, recognition of the disease and timely management will improve clinical outcomes and reduce complications and death.

         The current clinical practice guidelines were developed by the Pediatric Nutrition Association of Thailand and endorsed by the Royal College of Pediatricians of Thailand, with the intention to improve the quality of inpatient care of acute severely malnourished pediatric patients in the setting of secondary care hospitals and higher. The guidelines consist of criteria for admission, diagnosis, management of SAM, prevention and treatment of refeeding syndrome, criteria for discharge, and prevention of SAM. However, the use of the guidelines should be tailored to match the context of individual hospital and individual patient which may be different.
