Abstract
|
|
|
The author have statistically observed growth pattern of LBW infants born at NMC obstetric ward for 4 years from Jan. 1972 through Dec, 1975.
LBW infants were divided ino 2 groups, preterm and small-for-date infants and compared with normal full-term delivered infants group for height and weight.
Following results were obtained
1) As compared with NFD ir_fants group, preterm infants group revaale3 statistically meaningful difference in height and weight until 5^-6 months of age. Thereafter no difference was noticed. But, SFD group shored difference in height and weight until 1 year of age.
2) Preurm infants gronp was found to have a greater growth velocity than SFD group in 47 months of age, SFD group showed relatively similar increment of height and weight with NFD group.
3) Mean heght and weight of LBW infants were below NFD gronp until 1 year of age. Growth velocity was similar with NFD group, so handicaps of LBW infants were not overcome statistically during 1 year after birth.
