IN-UTERO FETAL GROWTH PATTERNS IN RELATION TO OUTCOME AT BIRTH

一项确定胎儿宫内发育危险因素的前瞻性研究 发育迟缓或小于胎龄儿的出生是从出生开始的。 于1986年1月至1988年6月在阿拉巴马大学举行 在挪威伯明翰和特隆赫姆大学(与 卑尔根大学和乌普萨拉大学)。研究方案包括 招募怀孕17周前的孕妇。那些注册的人 这项研究在他们剩下的时间里都受到了仔细的监控 怀孕了。对称性和非对称性宫内发育 在产前和分娩时对发育迟缓进行评估。生下来的婴儿 学习的母亲在生命的第一年进行了后续检查 评估追赶增长和实现早期发展里程碑的情况。 这些婴儿的五年随访目前正在进行试点测试。 对五岁儿童的测试计划于1991年秋季开始。

A prospective study to determine risk factors for intrauterine growth retardation, or small-for-gestational age birth, was begun with births occurring from January 1986 through June 1988 at the University of Alabama in Birmingham and University of Trondheim, Norway (in collaboration with the Universities of Bergen and Uppsala). The study protocol included recruitment of pregnant women before 17 weeks gestation. Those enrolled in the study were carefully monitored throughout the remainder of their pregnancy. Symmetric and asymmetric forms of intrauterine growth retardation were assessed prenatally and at delivery. Infants born to the study mothers have had follow-up exams during the first year of life to assess catch-up growth and attainment of early developmental milestones. A five year old follow-up of these infants is currently being pilot tested. The testing of five year olds is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1991.
