NCT04333121 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: weight chart for preterms
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to model longitudinal data at NICU of Assuit University Children Hospital to create predictive growth charts for weight in preterm infants from birth till discharge, that take into account the differing growth rates post-birth when compared to in-utero growth ,and to compare it with WHO chart for preterms.

Conditions

Pre-Term

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Modelling predictive gender-and gestation-specific weight reference centiles for preterm infants using a population-based cohort study at neonatology unit of Assuit University Children Hospital

  It is an observational retrospective study achieved by collecting retrospective, longitudinal measurements of weight from preterm infants born at \<34 weeks gestation, starting from birth, and model gender- and gestation specific predictive centile charts till discharge from the neonatal unit by a population-based cohort study.

  one year

Interventions

weight OTHER

we can monitoring the growth of the infants by weight gain degree

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 1 Day - 1 Month
• Gender Eligibility Details: we will compare the difference of weight gain between males and females infants
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

It is an observational retrospective study achieved by collecting retrospective, longitudinal measurements of weight from preterm infants born at \<34 weeks gestation, starting from birth, and model gender- and gestation specific predictive centile charts till discharge from the neonatal unit by a population-based cohort study.

You may qualify if:

• Data will be collected for all infants born at \<34 weeks of gestation who were delivered by vaginal or caesarian section and born at Assuit University Hospital or referred to it.

You may not qualify if:

• (1) Any neonate born at 34 weeks of gestation or more, (2) any neonate born at \<34 weeks of gestation who died before a second weight could be recorded.
