Overview

Prospective cohort study finds increased hypothermia and NEC rates in SGA preterm infants, suggesting critical care implications.

Key Points

  • SGA preterm infants face significantly higher rates of hypothermia, NEC, and hypoglycaemia compared to controls.
  • Neonates in the SGA group regained birthweight faster than controls, with an average of 8 days versus 11 days.
  • The study included 148 preterm infants, with 54 classified as SGA and matched with well-grown counterparts.
  • SGA infants remain at risk for specific morbidities regardless of being preterm as well.
