Modelling Weight Reference Centiles for Preterm Infants

April 1, 2020 updated by: Mohammed Khalaf Ali, Assiut University

Modelling Predictive gender-and Gestation-specific Weight Reference Centiles for Preterm Infants Using a Population-based Cohort Study at Neonatology Unit of Assuit University Children Hospital

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.
