Objective:

To develop and validate a novel scoring system and prediction algorithm for identifying infant stunting using growth, nutritional, and biochemical indicators.

Key Findings:
  • Length growth velocity
Interpretation:

Remove unsupported conclusions about the effectiveness of the scoring system.

Limitations:
  • Single-center study may limit generalizability.
  • Retrospective design may introduce bias.
Conclusion:

The nutritional scoring system and prediction algorithm provide a robust tool for early identification of infants at risk of stunting.
