Comparison between INTERGROWTH-21ST and Fenton charts for extrauterine growth in very low birth weigth infants
The results show that when INTERGROWTH-21ST and Fenton are compared, INTERGROWTH-21ST is more sensitive in defining the SGA rate. The Fenton is more sensitive in defining EUGR at discharge. These differences between the charts make it difficult to monitor the growth of premature infants and to follow comorbidities. Therefore, the establishment of ideal growth curves is of great importance both during hospitalization and after discharge of premature infants.
