Summary

The aim of this study is to model longitudinal data at NICU of Assuit University Children Hospital to create predictive growth charts for weight in preterm infants from birth till discharge, that take into account the differing growth rates post-birth when compared to in-utero growth ,and to compare it with WHO chart for preterms.

Detailed description

It is an observational retrospective study achieved by collecting retrospective, longitudinal measurements of weight from preterm infants born at \<34 weeks gestation, starting from birth, and model gender- and gestation specific predictive centile charts till discharge from the neonatal unit by a population-based cohort study.
