Feeding the Low Birth Weight Infant

Clinics in Perinatology, 1993
A true gold standard for assessing the nutritional outcome of preterm infants remains elusive. We are seeing an expansion beyond the traditional intrauterine-based short-term growth and nutrient retention rates toward a broader, and possibly life-long, range of outcomes.

Digoxin and Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1982
In their recent communication, Johnson et al suggested that conventional digoxin use may be sufficiently toxic forlow-birth-weight infants to prompt consideration of alternative therapies. This conclusion was supported by their detection of digitalis associated illness in 9/18 small premature infants receiving digoxin in doses of 0.003 to 0.005 mg/kg ...

Growth of low-birth-weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970
Growth in weight, length, and head circumference was measured through the first year of life in three groups of low-birth-weight infants: very premature, moderately premature, and mature but severely undersized. Curves of growth for each group were compared to those considered normal for the fetus and newborn infant. When corrected for gestational age,

Vitamins and Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1980
The most recent recommendation by the AAP Committee on Nutrition (Pediatrics 60:519, 1977) as to vitamin administration in the low birth weight (LBW) infant is confusing. One can appreciate that at present there is a paucity of information and much controversy as to the actual vitamin requirements of the growing LBW infant at different stages.

Pathogenesis and Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983
Sir .—I hesitate to criticize the article "A Model for Studying the Pathogenesis and Incidence of Low-Birth-Weight Infants" (Journal1983;137: 323-327) by such an expert as Dr Miller, and the related editorial "Continuing Challenges in Reduction of Neonatal Mortality" (Journal1983;137: 321-322) by Dr Avery.

The Low-Birth-Weight Infant

1978
Low-birth-weight infants (< 2500 g) may result from pregnancies terminating before the completion of a normal gestational period (preterm infant) or from pregnancies during which the rate of intrauterine growth is abnormally slow, regardless of the duration of the gestation (SGA or small-for-gestational-age infant).

Enteral feeding of low birth weight infants

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
There is sufficient evidence at present to support early enteral feeding of low birth weight (LBW) neonates, including those who are sick or very preterm (< 30 weeks). Trophic feeding with human milk initiated within 48 hours of birth at 10-15 ml/kg/day improves later tolerance to graded increment of enteral feeding volumes without increased risk of ...

Postnatal Weight Changes in Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1987
Postnatal body weight changes were assessed in 385 surviving infants with birth weights of less than 2,500 g. Body weight was measured daily between birth and 45 days of age. Infants were grouped according to 100-g birth weight categories, and mean body weight changes for each group were compared.

Continuous murmurs in infants of low birth weight

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1974
A continuous murmur typical of patent ductus arteriosus persisting, for days or weeks was noted in 18 of 100 neonates whose birth weights were less than 2,500 grams. The murmur became apparent during the first two weeks of life in 13 infants. There was evidence of a significant left-to-right shunt in three infants, only one of whom developed heart ...

Management of extremely low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1992
Better health care of women during pregnancy and delivery, improvement in neonatal intensive therapy and technology have led to a decrease in neonatal mortality and morbidity and to lower limits of birth weight and gestational age for survival. This paper refers to the management protocol used in the Department of Perinatal Pathology of the Provincial ...
