“…The average weight and height of the SGA infants rose from below the third percentile at birth to between the 10th to 25th percentile at 6 months, and remained around the 25th percentile through age 8 years. Low et al 33,34 compared the growth through age 5 years of 76 white SGA infants born at term with that of 88 AGA infants (birth weight Ͼ25th percentile). The SGA infants demonstrated accelerated growth during the first 3 months, but never completely caught up, remaining smaller at age 60 months by an average of 2.3 kg and 3.6 cm.…”

“…Finally, studies of various other authors cannot be used for comparison, as these authors determined total estrogens in serum which does not render such definite results [8,9,11,17]. In keeping with numerous other studies [5,10,16,19] our investigations also showed evidence of retarded development during the first two years of the infant's life in cases of premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, low Apgar score or cesarian section. Due to this, it was here attempted to find the appropriate method of determining estriol to allow a correct prognostic evalution of the condition of the infant at birth and in its early two years development.…”

“…Newborn and infant mortality and morbidity are significantly high among these babies. [3][4] Those who survive adulthood are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases like hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus and obstructive lung disease. 5 To prevent these adverse effects, growth charts can be used at primary health care level to screening the vulnerable babies for proper attention by the appropriate health care providers.…”

Birth weight is not enough to evaluate growth of the newborn. Around the globe, growth charts at birth as percentiles for various gestational ages are available both in developed and developing countries. This study aimed to develop such growth chart in Bangladesh, to exactly evaluate an individual newborn's growth pattern by comparing growth of its different parts with that of a standard one. A cross sectional observational study conducted at fifteen non-government maternity centers located in different parts of Dhaka, Narayanganj and Narsingdi. Birth weight, birth length, head and chest circumferences of five thousand one hundred and five singleton newborns' with gestational ages ranging from 35 to 42 weeks were recorded during June 2014 to July 2015. Trained Physicians and paramedics of respective centers recorded data. Gestational age specific percentile charts were constructed for birth weight, birth length, head circumference and chest circumference. Mean birth weight, birth length, head and chest circumferences were found to be respectively 2966g, 47.1, 33.2 and 32.3 cm which were more or less comparable to some other studies in the country and also higher than some of the studies. Most strikingly, prevalence of low birth weight was found to be 11 percent which is significantly lower than any other study conducted in the country. The 10 th , 50 th and 90 th percentile values of birth weight at 40 th weeks of gestation were respectively found to be 2600g, 3000g and 3600g. The linear and circumference growth at 40 th weeks of gestation match with the percentile values of birth weight. Constructed growth charts are more or less comparable to some South Asian countries but also significantly differ from some other studies. Country specific standard growth chart is required for clinical assessment and identifying high risk newborns for providing special care. The growth charts constructed in this study, will guide policy makers and programme personnel to take necessary interventions for ensuring potential growth of every future newborn. Furthermore, this study has made the opportunity to compare the charts with other South Asian countries and developed world.
