Overview

Prospective cohort study reports catch-up growth outcomes in SGA neonates, suggesting interventions may be necessary for some infants.

Key Points

  • Catch-up growth was achieved by 72.3% of SGA neonates by nine months, emphasizing the importance of early monitoring and nutrition.
  • Statistically significant results show differences between birth weight and nine-month weight in SGA neonates, with a p value of <0.001.
  • This study followed 170 SGA newborns, assessing growth at scheduled vaccination appointments up to nine months of age.
  • Findings suggest targeted nutritional interventions are necessary, as some infants still did not achieve catch-up growth.
