A group of small-for-dates full-term babies whose intra-uterine growth was followed by serial ultrasonic cephalometry were examined at a mean age of 4 years. Those children whose skull growth had begun to slow in utero before 34 weeks' menstrual age were more likely to have a height and weight less than the 10th centile. When the onset of growth failure had occurred before 26 weeks there was a lower developmental quotient at follow-up using the Griffiths extended scales. Prolonged slow growth in utero therefore seems to be followed by slow growth and development after birth.
一组足月小样儿,其子宫内生长情况通过系列超声头颅测量法进行跟踪,在平均4岁时接受检查。那些在月经龄34周前子宫内颅骨生长就已开始放缓的儿童,其身高和体重更有可能低于第10百分位。当生长发育迟缓在26周前就已出现时,采用格里菲斯扩展量表进行随访时发育商较低。因此,子宫内长期生长缓慢似乎会导致出生后生长发育迟缓。
