| Abstract | Objectives: To investigate the postnatal growth trajectories of preterm infants and evaluate the association between extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) at discharge and adverse physical growth outcomes at age 3-6 years. Methods: Premature infants admitted to Shanghai Children's Medical Center within 24 h after birth from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 were enrolled. Neonatal complications, nutrition support, and anthropometric data were collected and analyzed to diagnose EUGR on different definitions at discharge. The weight and the height of each subject were collected by telephone investigation from 1 September 2021 to 31 November 2021 to access the incidences of overweight/obesity, short stature, and thinness at age 3-6 years. Results: A total of 527 preterm infants were included in the final sample. The overall mean weight and height Conclusion: The growth trajectories of the preterm newborns tended toward the normal direction. Longitudinal EUGR on the head circumference and cross-sectional EUGR on height at discharge were associated with adverse physical growth outcomes at age 3-6 years. |
