Growth patterns by birth size of preterm children born at 24–29 gestational weeks for the first 3 years

Background Concerns are prevalent about preterm infant long‐term growth regarding plotting low on growth charts at discharge, stunting, underweight, high body fat and subsequent cardiometabolic morbidities. Objectives To examine (a) longitudinal growth patterns of extremely and very preterm infants...

Description
Summary:Background Concerns are prevalent about preterm infant long‐term growth regarding plotting low on growth charts at discharge, stunting, underweight, high body fat and subsequent cardiometabolic morbidities. Objectives To examine (a) longitudinal growth patterns of extremely and very preterm infants to 3 years corrected age (CA) (outcome), categorised by their birthweight for gestational age: small, appropriate and large for gestational age (SGA, AGA and LGA, respectively) (exposure); and (b) the ability of growth faltering (
