Comparison of different growth curves in the assessment of extrauterine growth restriction in very low birth weight preterm infants

Preterm infants are at risk of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) and associated complications in the long term. Growth curves are important in assessing postnatal growth in these infants. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EUGR in preterm infants and the factors associated...

Zusammenfassung:Preterm infants are at risk of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) and associated complications in the long term. Growth curves are important in assessing postnatal growth in these infants. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EUGR in preterm infants and the factors associated with EUGR using two different growth curves. We retrospectively evaluated 596 preterm infants with birth weight ≤1500 g. Small for gestational age (SGA) was defined as birth weight
