Hallo.

I have a question. Do You use growth charts for preterms on NICUs? How about children 23-26 weeks?

We have a reference curve also for preterm infants, it is integrated in our computerized patient record system.

The reference to the growth charts: Acta Paed (suppl) 1994;399:64-70.

I attach two examples, one for a girl and one for a boy.

Thank You very much. We use such charts for "older":) preterms (26 and more). For younger we used to notice the weihgt only. But know we're going to notice growth parametters of every preterm infant.
