Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Reliability of SGNA versus nutritional status as assessed by standard anthropometric measures in children with chronic liver disease.
Time Frame: 2 years
Nutritional status (well nourished, moderate or severe malnutrition) of a child with chronic liver disease as assessed by standard anthropometric measures (weight, height, mid arm circumference, Body mass index, triceps and subscapular skin fold thickness) will be compared to the results of nutritional assessment score as obtained by applying Subjective Global Nutritional Assessment (SGNA) proforma.
