Growth in the premature, small-for-gestational-age infant.
American Family Physician
; Growth in the Premature, Small-for-Gestational-Age Infant The direct consequences of intrauterine growth retardation in the premature infant are uncertain. Most studies of low-birth-weight, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants have involved mixed groups of infants who were not equivalent in

Evaluating illness severity for very low birth weight infants: CRIB or CRIB-II?
Journal of Maternal - Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
; Abstract Background. Estimating the risk of in-hospital mortality provides essential information in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The clinical risk index for babies (CRIB) is a widely used, risk-adjustment instrument to determine illness severity in infants of gestational age ≤ 31

Risk factors for intrapair birth weight discordance in twins
Journal of Maternal - Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
; Objectives: To determine the risk factors for birth weight discordance in twins. Methods: We used the United States (1995-97) Matched Multiple Birth File (n = 294 568) to assess the association between birth weight discordance and maternal sociodemographic, pregnancy and infant characteristics.
