The recognition that low-birth-weight infants do not represent a homogeneous group revived interest in the gestational age as an important adjunct to birth weight in the classification of newborn infants. This paper discusses the problems generated by the joint classification of births by means of the birth weight and gestational age. An attempt is made to formulate the objectives and purposes of such a classification. Certain classification systems currently in use, such as the percentile curves of Lubchenco and the “minus two score” of Gruenwald, are discussed. A scheme for classifying births in five groups is suggested.
