Overview

Prospective cohort study reveals catch-up growth in infants, suggesting distinct patterns in singletons and twins.

Key Points

  • SGA infants experience rapid catch-up growth in weight and head circumference within six months of birth, with distinct outcomes for twins and singletons.
  • Catch-up growth was faster for weight than length, highlighting the need for extended monitoring among twin SGA infants during the first year.
  • Assessment involved a prospective cohort of 340 infants classified as AGA or SGA, focusing on postnatal growth patterns during the first year of life.
  • The complexities of growth deviations underline the importance of ongoing monitoring and intervention strategies for at-risk infants.
