[Neonatal percentile values for East Germany--1985. 3. On the correlation of body height and weight of the mother in a two-dimensional classification of newborn infants according to birth weight and gestational age].

There were published percentiles of birthweight in relation to bodyheight of the mother as well as in relation to bodyweight and parity, bodyheight and bodyweight of the mother for term range 37th to 41st week of pregnancy. They were calculated through median quantities. The dates again derive from the investigation of 51,570 single births in elected regions of GDR in 1984 and 1985. The length of pregnancy was stated in full weeks. It was determined on the base of three parameters (by Naegele method, by sonography, and by neonatal maturity judgment). Selected percentiles of birthweight regarding the above influencing factors, distributed into sex, were summarized for use in practice.
