Background and objectives:The better providers understand growth of premature infants, more appropriate interventions can be developed to help these children to grow and develop. Controversy still exists whether growth of premature infants should be compared with intrauterine or longitudinal postnatal growth curves. We aimed to define the postnatal growth of premature infants and compare it with reference growth curves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
