Critical appraisal – Growth monitoring
Growth monitoring of children under 5 years has long been advocated as a means of early recognition of undernutrition and is universally practiced throughout the developing world. Some academics and clinicians however have suggested that growth monitoring does not lead to improved growth of children. The following document is a Cochrane review of growth monitoring. Critically evaluate the methods, results and recommendations of this review and summarise your findings.
Panpanich R, Garner P. (1999) ‘Growth monitoring in children’ The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 4. Art. No.: CD001443. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD001443
1. Your critical appraisal should be 2000 words or less double spaced. Your critical appraisal should include an introduction which describes briefly what your appraisal is about – or the purpose of this appraisal. It may also include some background issues (for instance why this topic is important to consumers). The body or content of the appraisal should summarise the type of information that this resource provides and how you evaluate it in relation to its accuracy, relevance, reliability, bias, and strength of argument(s). You should also consider the selection of studies included in the review and whether there is other evidence that should have been included, stating why and the effect this might have had on the outcomes of the review. Concluding remarks would summarise your overall judgement of the information.
2. Provide at least five references from scientific journals or textbooks that support your argument or conclusion(s). You should use the Harvard style of referencing.
