“…To our best knowledge, many studies abroad had explored the application of IG-21 curves in different populations. The studies by Anne et al ( 9 ), Reddy et al ( 15 ), and Estañ-Capell et al ( 16 ) provided the data of the application of IG-21 growth charts in early preterm birth (<32 weeks); González García et al ( 17 , 18 ) and Yazici et al ( 19 ) focused on very low birth weight infants (<1,500 g). Most research studies were limited to specific high-risk populations and overlooked the middle and late preterm infants, which occupied a large majority of preterm infants.…”

“…and Cordova et al ( 24 ) compared the relation between growth failure identified by IG-21 or Fenton and neurodevelopmental delay at 12, 18, and 24 months and reached different conclusions. Lebrão et al ( 5 ) indicated that the IG-21 charts were slightly better than Fenton to predict adverse physical growth outcomes at 12 months, while González García et al ( 18 ) found no statistical differences between the two charts in predicting the body build of VLBWI at 2 years. However, the long-term prognosis after 2 years was barely discussed.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this article was to compare the differences between Intergrowth-21st (IG-21) and Fenton growth standards in the classification of intrauterine and extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in eastern Chinese preterm infants, and detect which one can better relate to neonatal diseases and predict the physical growth outcomes at 3–5 years old.MethodsPremature infants admitted to a tertiary pediatric hospital in Shanghai, China, from 2016 to 2018 were enrolled. Prenatal information, neonatal diseases during hospitalization, and anthropometric data (weight, height, and head circumference) at birth and at discharge were collected and analyzed. Physical growth outcomes (short stature, thinness, and overweight) were examined by telephone investigations in 2021 at age 3–5 years.ResultsThe medium gestational age and birth weight of the included 1,065 preterm newborns were 33.6 weeks and 1,900 g, respectively. The IG-21 curves diagnosed more newborns with small for gestational age (SGA) (19% vs. 14.7%) and fewer newborns with longitudinal EUGR on height (25.5% vs. 27.9%) and head circumference (17.9% vs. 24.7%) compared to Fenton curves. Concordances between Fenton and IG-21 standards were substantial or almost perfect in the classification of SGA and longitudinal EUGR, but minor in cross-sectional EUGR. EUGR identified by Fenton curves was better related to neonatal diseases than IG-21 curves. There were no statistical significances in the prediction of short stature, thinness, and overweight at 3–5 years old between the two charts.ConclusionsIG-21 growth standards are not superior to Fenton in assessing preterm growth and development in the eastern Chinese population.
