This retrospective chart review describes the growth of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit.
A descriptive design was used to collect data from 60 hospital records.
Gains were noted between assessment periods (discharge--6 months and 6-12 months) (t = 4.57, t = 5.60, t = 10.77, p < 0.001) for weight, length, and head circumference, respectively. A negative change in weight (z = -1.9; CI = -3.1, -0.66) within the discharge to 6-month assessment period and a positive change in length (z = 0.54, CI = 0.05, 1.04) within the 6 to 12-month assessment were noted. Each assessment was significantly below the 50th percentile of full-term infants with weight at the 7th percentile at 12 months.
The ELBW infants showed gains relative to the full-term infant but lagged behind on each growth parameter at each assessment.
本回顾性病历审查描述了极低出生体重(ELBW)婴儿从新生儿重症监护病房出院后的生长情况。
采用描述性设计从60份医院记录中收集数据。
在评估期(出院至6个月和6至12个月)之间,体重、身长和头围分别有增长(t = 4.57,t = 5.60,t = 10.77,p < 0.001)。在出院至6个月的评估期内体重有负向变化(z = -1.9;CI = -3.1,-0.66),在6至12个月的评估期内身长有正向变化(z = 0.54,CI = 0.05,1.04)。每次评估均显著低于足月婴儿第50百分位数,12个月时体重处于第7百分位数。
ELBW婴儿相对于足月婴儿有生长,但在每次评估时每个生长参数均落后。
