The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of growth retardation in children with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
Forty children with atopic dermatitis fulfilling the inclusion criteria were entered in the study. Their height was recorded and growth charts were selected according to the age and gender of the patients. The results show growth retardation in children with atopic dermatitis. The frequency of the growth impairment was relatively more in severe disease and among girls, as depicted by growth charts.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This study aimed to determine the frequency of growth retardation in children with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. It was conducted as a cross-sectional survey at WAPDA Hospital, Lahore. The study included 40 children with atopic dermatitis who met the inclusion criteria. Height and weight were measured using appropriate tools, and growth charts were used to assess growth retardation based on percentile ranks.
