Body weight, length and head circumference were measured at the time of birth and several follow ups until 12 months of chronological age."n"n Results: NBW growth trend adopts the standard chart. Significant differences in terms of physical growth (weight- height- head circumference) were seen between the two groups of preterm (LBW & VLBW) and NBW children. Although it was demonstrated that growth velocity of preterm & NBW children were the same. Significant differences for weight was seen between VLBW and LBW group only until 6 months after birth. This difference was seen for height and Head circumference until the end of the first year of life. "n"nConclusions: VLBW and LBW babies need special growth charts. But the adjustment method of anthropometric traits to gestational age may be useful to evaluate LBW baby's growth. |
