Results: institutionalized children showed statistically significant lower Ht, Wt and HC Z- scores (median (IQR)-0.2 (- 0.89:0.32), - 0.27 (- 0.87: 0.5), 0.4 I (- 0.2: 1.47 respectively) and percentiles and lower developmental quotient (DQ) scores across all developmental (median (IQR) for Social DQs was 92.55 (87.97: 101.4), for language DQs 91.45 (87.5: 97.55), for self-care DQs 89.75 (82.65: 98.4), for cognitive DQs 84.3 (78.1: 94.6) and for motor DQs 97.15 (94.67: 104.7) when compared to home living children’s Ht, Wt and HC Z- scores (median (IQR) 0.51 (0.03:1.1), 0.1 (- 0.28: 0.51), 1.63 (0.45: 2.23 respectively) and percentiles and DQ scores (median (IQR) for Social DQs was 108.2 (105.5: 114.6), for language DQs 103.9(100: 108.4).
for self-care DQs 105(100: 110.1), for cognitive DQs 104(96.9: 108.2) and for motor DQs 110.6(105.2: 115.3), meanwhile; they had statistically significant higher MUAC Z- scores (median (IQR) 0.39 (- 0.31: 1.19) and percentiles compared to home living children (median (IQR)-O.O 2 (-1.2: 0.52).
Conclusion: Institutionalized maternally deprived children have delayed physical growth and development (social, language, self-care, cognitive and motor).
