Further analysis of our data sheds some light on this proposition. Infants with IUGR (defined as a birth weight of at least 1.33 SD below the 1990 British Growth Reference mean) grew slightly more than their non-IUGR counterparts (table 1).View this table:In this windowIn a new windowTable 1 Mean change in weight SD Score between birth and 36 weeks CGA in infants without IUGR, … ER -
