OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of being small for gestational age (SGA) on very preterm
mortality and morbidity rates by using different birthweight percentile thresholds and whether …

Background: Although medical care for very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants has improved
over time, it is unclear how this has affected mortality and morbidity. To characterize these …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the impact of severity of growth restriction on mortality
and major neonatal morbidity among very-low-birthweight small-for-gestational-age infants …

Background Low birth weight and prematurity are amongst the strongest predictors of
neonatal death. However, the extent to which they act independently is poorly understood …

Aim: To determine in a cohort of very‐low‐birthweight (VLBW) infants the incidence of
postnatal growth failure and the influence of intrauterine growth and neonatal morbidities on …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the impact of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) on
mortality and morbidity in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. Methods We conducted a …

Background Preterm birth is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality among infants
worldwide, and imposes considerable burden on health, education and social services, as …

OBJECTIVES: The goals were to assess risk factors and mortality rate changes over time
and to develop simple estimates of mortality rates for specific groups of infants at 23 to 26 …

With regard to the outcome of intensive neonatal care, one of the most important concerns in
neonatology is the mortality rate of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI; birth weight< 1,500 …

Background National estimates for the numbers of babies born small for gestational age and
the comorbidity with preterm birth are unavailable. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of …
