We have studied the epidemiology of inguinal hernias in preterm infants. Inguinal hernias occur with increased frequency in infants less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestational age or less than or equal to 1,250 g birth weight. Among infants less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestational age, intrauterine growth retardation significantly increases the risk for development of inguinal hernias, especially in male infants. Our data demonstrate a previously unrecognized association between neonatal inguinal hernia and intrauterine growth retardation.
我们研究了早产儿腹股沟疝的流行病学。孕周小于或等于32周或出生体重小于或等于1250克的婴儿腹股沟疝发病率增加。在孕周小于或等于32周的婴儿中，宫内生长迟缓显著增加腹股沟疝发生风险，尤其是男婴。我们的数据表明新生儿腹股沟疝与宫内生长迟缓之间存在此前未被认识到的关联。
