Intrauterine growth in length and head circumference as estimated from live births at gestational ages from 26 to 42 weeks.
TLDR
Charts of intrauterine growth in length, weight-length ratio and head circumference as estimated from liveborn measurements are presented to permit the identification of infants with unusual intrauterne growth patterns.Abstract:
Charts of intrauterine growth in length, weight-length ratio and head circumference as estimated from liveborn measurements are presented. These, in conjunction with intrauterine weight charts, permit the identification of infants with unusual intrauterine growth patterns.read more

Intrauterine growth of live-born Caucasian infants at sea level: Standards obtained from measurements in 7 dimensions of infants born between 25 and 44 weeks
TL;DR: Normal anthropometric standards are presented for new-born Caucasian infants at sea level between 25 and 44 weeks' gestational age based upon measurements in 7 dimensions made in duplicate by a single observer using standard measurement techniques.

TL;DR: It is suggested that concepts of teratogensis should be expanded to include alterations occurring subsequent to organogenesis during the differentiation and proliferation of fetal cells that could cause long-range effects upon behavioral, anthropometric, and metabolic functions.

TL;DR: Appropriate-for-gestational age infants who survived to hospital discharge without developing chronic lung disease, severe intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, or late onset-sepsis gained weight faster than comparable infants with those morbidities.

A new growth chart for preterm babies: Babson and Benda's chart updated with recent data and a new format.
TL;DR: The updated growth chart allows a comparison of an infant's growth first with the fetus as early as 22 weeks and then with the term infant to 10 weeks and provides evidence that on average preterm infants are growth retarded with respect to weight and length while their head size has caught up to birth percentiles.

TL;DR: The new intrauterine growth curves created and validated in this study, based on a contemporary, large, racially diverse US sample, provide clinicians with an updated tool for growth assessment in US NICUs and may not represent the current US population.
