Studies show that malnutrition is responsible for over 45% of deaths in children under five globally, highlighting its critical impact. For conditions like Failure to Thrive (FTT), a complex syndrome of inadequate growth, nutrition is not just important—it is the cornerstone of effective treatment.

Approximately 11.5% of all under-five deaths are attributed to acute malnutrition, underlining the urgency for effective treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides regularly updated protocols, and understanding the WHO guidelines on SAM is essential for healthcare providers addressing this devastating condition.
