| Abstract | AIMS: To develop postnatal percentile growth charts for Indian very low birth weight (VLBW) appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies till 37 weeks post conceptional age (PCA). METHODS: Prospective, mixed longitudinal study in 105 VLBW AGA (male 73 and female 32) babies weighing <1500 g and <34 weeks gestation born over 1 year. All were weighed daily until discharge and then weekly till 37 weeks of PCA. The percentile weight curves were computed in four categories : ≤28 weeks, 29-30, 31-32 and 33 weeks, and a total of seven percentile distributions (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th& 97th) were generated. Entire data were subjected to Tanner's 1951 method to compute mean and standard deviation for body weight. The arithmetic mean served the 50(th) percentile. RESULTS: All babies at birth were <50th centile as per Lubchenco's intrauterine growth chart. This pattern was more evident in higher gestation (31-32 and 33 weeks) than lower gestation (≤28 and 29-30 weeks). At 37 weeks PCA, all were <10th centile and the lowest was in ≤28 weeks gestation. CONCLUSIONS: Our babies are born smaller, and growth rate is slower than their western counterparts. Babies at lowest gestation had slowest postnatal growth. Hence, we need a separate growth chart for our babies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
