Ítem Acceso Abierto El éxito de los tratamientos contra la desnutrición en los niños: Una revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2022) Correa Serpa, Catalina Elizabeth; Aguaiza Pichazaca, Erlinda; 030265994-1Child malnutrition is a pathologic condition that must be treated systematically and continuously. Treatment success depends on replenishing the missing nutrients in the infant's body and the mitigation of the symptoms that such disease entails. Objective: The study aims at determining the characteristics and aspects that influence the success of treatments against malnutrition in children. Methodology: This investigation is a Meta study that follows a systematic review of literature lacking the registration of a developmental protocol. It was carried out under the qualitative approach based on twelve publications gathered from scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, MedLine, SciELO, Redalyc, and other ProQuest databases from the Catholic University of Cuenca. These studies were referenced through the Mendeley data manager. Results: The physical growth and intellectual development of children require a healthy and balanced diet; that is, the ingested food and substances must provide the nutrients, proteins, vitamins and antibodies that the infant's body requires to prevent a series of conditions such as child malnutrition, which might affect their integral development. Conclusions: The success of a child malnutrition treatment depends on aspects that include getting quality health care, fulfilling the doctor’s prescription to the exact detail, administering therapeutic foods, ensuring a nutritious diet, complying with all the visits suggested by the health professional, and maintaining hygiene measures when preparing and consuming foods. Keywords: treatment, malnutrition, children, infants, success.
