How should we chart the growth of very preterm babies?
How should we chart the growth of very preterm babies?
Advances in neonatal intensive care have resulted in an increase in survival of babies born at the extremes of viability, and consequently there has been, in recent years, more of a focus on the reduction of the burden of morbidity. A large body of research has centred on providing optimum nutrition for these vulnerable infants to improve outcomes, and central to this is the assessment of growth using published standardised growth charts.

Abstract
Advances in neonatal intensive care have resulted in an increase in survival of babies born at the extremes of viability, and consequently there has been, in recent years, more of a focus on the reduction of the burden of morbidity. A large body of research has centred on providing optimum nutrition for these vulnerable infants to improve outcomes, and central to this is the assessment of growth using published standardised growth charts.
