| Popis: |
With the development of care in neonatal units in the last thirty years, the survival chances of premature infants with very low gestational weeks have increased, and as a result, growth monitoring of premature infants is of great importance. In the follow-up of premature infants, monitoring not only body weight but also body composition and evaluating nutritional status is a more accurate approach for improving growth. The growth charts used in growth monitoring are universal and are not intended to represent a time-independent population or region. Most of the growth charts that are widely used today are reference lines created by the follow-up of premature infants, but these growth charts are a reflection of the society and time of the selected infants, including nutritional data. The use of growth charts based on antenatal measurements does not reflect postnatal life and cannot take into account physiological changes. Although the growth rate is calculated by plotting the measurements of the infants on the growth chart, a healthier growth assessment can be made by how well it follows the reference line for weight, length and head circumference. |
