Abstract
Growth failure has not been consistently defined for preterm infants, which contributes to unclear clinical guidelines for optimal growth and development. Therefore, the purpose of this concept analysis was to identify all uses and attributes of the concept, present model and contrary cases, identify antecedents and consequences, define empirical referents, and provide an operational definition of growth failure among preterm infants in the NICU.
