Abstract
|
|
|
Thebirth weight and gestational age are two important factors in assessing the neonatal morbidity and mortality, The birth weight for gestational age was elaborated through the establishment of birth weight-gestational age tables
in
10,916 Korean newborn infants at 32 to 43 weeks of gestation who were born at Sanggye Paik Hospital from August, 1989 until December, 1992. Mean, standard deviation and 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles were calculated.
We found that the increment of birth weight was rapid till 38 weeks of gestation and then was slow. The male infants at 37 to 42 weeks of gestation were about 100gm heavier than the female and first babies were lighter than subsequent
babies
at all stages of gestation.
These data will be expected to be contributed as the parameter to define the grwoth retarded infants and macrosomia.
