          Abstract

          Abstract Objective: to investigate the speed of weight gain (WG) and the z-score (E-z) of weight in premature neonates large for gestational age (LGA) during four weeks of hospitalization. Methods: a retrospective longitudinal study with premature neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit at a university hospital. Data were obtained from January 2017 to December 2018; 115 babies with gestational age (GA) ≥ 27 and < 37 weeks, non-twin, AGA or LGA were included. The WG (g/kg/day) was obtained from the nadir weight and the E-z was calculated online based on the Intergrowth-21st curves. Repeated-measures ANOVA and multiple linear regression were used to assess the association between WP and E-z and explanatory variables; p < 5 %. Results: mean GA was 32.5 weeks, birth weight was 1910 g and weight loss was 5 % at 7 days. WG was lower in LGA babies, with GI between 32 and 37 weeks (LGA, 9.2 ± 5.6 g/kg/day vs AGA, 13.9 ± 6.0 g/kg/day). The change in WG was explained by protein supply in AGA (B = 2.5 g/kg/day; 95 % CI, 0.7 to 4.3; and β = 0.543) and by GA in LGA (B = -0.05 g/kg/day; 95 % CI, -0.09 to -0.02; and β = -0.574). In the 4th week of hospitalization, weight E-z decreased similarly for LGAs and AGAs, and this variation was explained by growth. Conclusions: premature LGAs had lower WG compared to AGAs during the neonatal period. The linear and brain growth explained the variation in weight E-z among these preterms.

          Resumen Objetivo: investigar la velocidad de la ganancia de peso (GP) y la puntuación z (E-z) de peso en neonatos prematuros grandes para la edad gestacional (GEG) durante cuatro semanas de hospitalización. Métodos: estudio longitudinal retrospectivo con neonatos prematuros de una unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales de un hospital universitario. Los datos se obtuvieron desde enero de 2017 hasta diciembre de 2018. Se incluyeron 115 bebés con edad gestacional (EG) ≥ 27 y < 37 semanas, no gemelos, AEG o GEG. El GP (g/kg/día) se obtuvo a partir del peso nadir y el E-z se calculó en línea basado en las curvas Intergrowth-21st. Se utilizaron el ANOVA de medidas repetidas y la regresión lineal múltiple para evaluar la asociación entre GP y E-z y las variables explicativas; p < 5 %. Resultados: la EG media fue de 32,5 semanas, el peso al nacer de 1910 g y la pérdida de peso del 5 % a los 7 días. El GP fue menor en los bebés GEG, con EG entre 32 y 37 semanas (GEG: 9,2 ± 5,6 g/kg/día vs. AEG: 13,9 ± 6,0 g/kg/día). El cambio en el GP se explicó por el suministro de proteínas en los AEG (B = 2,5 g/kg/día; IC 95 %: 0,7 a 4,3; y β = 0,543) y por EG en los GEG (B = -0,05 g/kg/día; IC 95 %: -0,09 a -0,02; y β = -0,574). En la 4ª semana de hospitalización, el peso E-z se redujo de manera similar en los GEG y los AEG, y esta variación se explicó por el crecimiento. Conclusiones: los prematuros GEG tuvieron un menor GP en comparación con los AEG durante el periodo neonatal. El crecimiento lineal y cerebral explicó la variación del peso E-z de estos prematuros.

          International standards for newborn weight, length, and head circumference by gestational age and sex: the Newborn Cross-Sectional Study of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project.

          In 2006, WHO published international growth standards for children younger than 5 years, which are now accepted worldwide. In the INTERGROWTH-21(st) Project, our aim was to complement them by developing international standards for fetuses, newborn infants, and the postnatal growth period of preterm infants. INTERGROWTH-21(st) is a population-based project that assessed fetal growth and newborn size in eight geographically defined urban populations. These groups were selected because most of the health and nutrition needs of mothers were met, adequate antenatal care was provided, and there were no major environmental constraints on growth. As part of the Newborn Cross-Sectional Study (NCSS), a component of INTERGROWTH-21(st) Project, we measured weight, length, and head circumference in all newborn infants, in addition to collecting data prospectively for pregnancy and the perinatal period. To construct the newborn standards, we selected all pregnancies in women meeting (in addition to the underlying population characteristics) strict individual eligibility criteria for a population at low risk of impaired fetal growth (labelled the NCSS prescriptive subpopulation). Women had a reliable ultrasound estimate of gestational age using crown-rump length before 14 weeks of gestation or biparietal diameter if antenatal care started between 14 weeks and 24 weeks or less of gestation. Newborn anthropometric measures were obtained within 12 h of birth by identically trained anthropometric teams using the same equipment at all sites. Fractional polynomials assuming a skewed t distribution were used to estimate the fitted centiles. We identified 20,486 (35%) eligible women from the 59,137 pregnant women enrolled in NCSS between May 14, 2009, and Aug 2, 2013. We calculated sex-specific observed and smoothed centiles for weight, length, and head circumference for gestational age at birth. The observed and smoothed centiles were almost identical. We present the 3rd, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 97th centile curves according to gestational age and sex. We have developed, for routine clinical practice, international anthropometric standards to assess newborn size that are intended to complement the WHO Child Growth Standards and allow comparisons across multiethnic populations.

            Long-Term Adverse Effects of Early Growth Acceleration or Catch-Up Growth

            Background: Whilst prevention of growth faltering has both short- and long-term health benefits, whether too fast or accelerated infant growth adversely affects later health outcomes is controversial and a major focus of research. Summary: Many observational studies suggest that rapid weight gain in infancy (upward centile crossing) increases the long-term risk of obesity and non-communicable disease. This association has been seen in infants from low- and high-income countries, in infants born preterm or at term, and those born with normal or low birth weight for gestation. Experimental (randomized) studies in both breast- and formula-fed infants support a causal link between early growth acceleration and infant nutrition and later risk of obesity. These observations suggest that strategies to optimize the pattern of infant growth could make a major contribution to stemming the current global epidemic of non-communicable disease. Key Messages: The optimal pattern of infant weight gain is likely to differ in different populations. The benefits of rapid infant weight gain for later neurodevelopment favors the promotion of rapid growth in infants born preterm. However, growth acceleration in healthy infants born at term (either normal or low birth weight for gestation) is likely to have adverse effects for long-term health.

              Prevalence and risk factors related to preterm birth in Brazil

              Background The rate of preterm birth has been increasing worldwide, including in Brazil. This constitutes a significant public health challenge because of the higher levels of morbidity and mortality and long-term health effects associated with preterm birth. This study describes and quantifies factors affecting spontaneous and provider-initiated preterm birth in Brazil. Methods Data are from the 2011–2012 “Birth in Brazil” study, which used a national population-based sample of 23,940 women. We analyzed the variables following a three-level hierarchical methodology. For each level, we performed non-conditional multiple logistic regression for both spontaneous and provider-initiated preterm birth. Results The rate of preterm birth was 11.5 %, (95 % confidence 10.3 % to 12.9 %) 60.7 % spontaneous - with spontaneous onset of labor or premature preterm rupture of membranes - and 39.3 % provider-initiated, with more than 90 % of the last group being pre-labor cesarean deliveries. Socio-demographic factors associated with spontaneous preterm birth were adolescent pregnancy, low total years of schooling, and inadequate prenatal care. Other risk factors were previous preterm birth (OR 3.74; 95 % CI 2.92–4.79), multiple pregnancy (OR 16.42; 95 % CI 10.56–25.53), abruptio placentae (OR 2.38; 95 % CI 1.27–4.47) and infections (OR 4.89; 95 % CI 1.72–13.88). In contrast, provider-initiated preterm birth was associated with private childbirth healthcare (OR 1.47; 95 % CI 1.09–1.97), advanced-age pregnancy (OR 1.27; 95 % CI 1.01–1.59), two or more prior cesarean deliveries (OR 1.64; 95 % CI 1.19–2.26), multiple pregnancy (OR 20.29; 95 % CI 12.58–32.72) and any maternal or fetal pathology (OR 6.84; 95 % CI 5.56–8.42). Conclusion The high proportion of provider-initiated preterm birth and its association with prior cesarean deliveries and all of the studied maternal/fetal pathologies suggest that a reduction of this type of prematurity may be possible. The association of spontaneous preterm birth with socially-disadvantaged groups reaffirms that the reduction of social and health inequalities should continue to be a national priority.
