Weight Length and Head Circumference Z-scores at 36 Weeks Are Not Accurate in Predicting Neurodevelopmental Impairment in Preterm Infants Less Than 30 Weeks Gestation (P11-062-19)

摘要

ObjectivesThe association between poor growth and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) among preterm infants is well-established whether due to inadequate nutrition, adverse events or both. The present study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of 36-week anthropometric measures, including corresponding < 10th and < 3rd percentile cut points to predict NDI in preterm infants.
