New References for Neonatal Weight by Gestational Age and Sex, Holguín, Cuba

“…As time passed, however, new weight standards related to gestational age (in weeks) were proposed by Latin American authors such as Alarcón, [14] González, [15] Pazcusso,[16] Parra, [17] and Urquía, [18] who presented evidence that P10 fi gures were higher than those found by Battaglia and Lubchenco. [13] After 1995, when WHO established criteria to set these standards, [1] numerous studies were conducted in Latin America with countryspecifi c populations; Parra, [17] Ticona, [19,20] and more recently, Villamonte [21] in Peru; Montoya in Colombia; [22]; San Pedro in Argentina; [23] and Lagos and Juez in Chile. [24][25][26] Intercountry differences observed in their results may be due, among other factors, to variations in features of the population studied, varying demographic and environmental factors, sample size and varying inclusion/exclusion criteria applied by the researchers.…”
