PRETERM INFANT CLINICAL GROWTH ASSESSMENT: GROWTH VELOCITY
presenter(s):
Sharon Groh-Wargo, PhD, RD, LD
Date: | 28 February 2018 |
Location: | Paris, France |
Dr Groh-Wargo discusses the critical steps in preterm infant clinical growth assessment to calculate growth velocity, assess catch-up growth, evaluate growth charts, and monitor for extrauterine growth restriction. She also reviews the new international growth standards for intrauterine growth of preterm infants developed by the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, and Z-scores for monitoring growth trajectories.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Breastfeeding is best for babies and is recommended for as long as possible during infancy.
Human milk should be fortified for very low birthweight infants.
