Summary: This study found that there are seven growth restriction patterns in small fetuses with delayed growth in the third trimester. 37% of fetuses without evidence of growth restriction had vascular abnormalities. The distribution and types of normal growth and growth restriction patterns in the AGA cohort were different compared to the SGA cohort.

Summary: Our understanding of normative concentrations of urine biomarkers in premature neonates is limited. Gestational age and sex have an impact on urine biomarker concentrations. Some biomarkers increase over time, while others decrease. Most biomarkers differ by gestational age at 27 weeks PMA, but are similar by 34 weeks PMA. Epo treatment does not affect urine biomarkers.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of small for gestational age (SGA) infants in Guangdong Province and its association with socioeconomic factors. The results showed that the prevalence of SGA in full term infants was significantly higher than in premature infants, and there was a negative correlation between the prevalence of SGA and per-capita GDP.

Summary: This study found minimal differences in DNA methylation and gene expression between CP and control groups in extremely low gestational age neonates, with upregulation of JAK1 expression observed in controls but not CP subjects. Whole transcriptome data identified several pathways potentially relevant to clinical outcomes in differentiating CP from controls.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of being small (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA) on the ocular geometry of adults born at term. The results showed that severe and moderate prenatal growth restriction led to an altered ocular geometry, including a steepening of the cornea and a smaller corneal diameter.

Summary: This study assessed the differences in cardiometabolic health between adults born small for gestational age. The results showed that females born small for gestational age are more prone to cardiac dysfunction, while males are more likely to experience changes in electrocardiography, vascular health, and metabolism.

Summary: This study evaluated the baseline cardiac function and structure as well as exercise capacity in young adults born small for gestational age (SGA). The results showed that these young adults had markedly reduced exercise capacity, indicating potential association with increased cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between body composition and small for gestation age (SGA) status in prepubertal children. The findings indicate that SGA-born children have lower BMI and a negative association between SGA status and BMI and lean mass.

Summary: It is found that adult patients born small for gestational age who received recombinant human growth hormone treatment, especially those without catch up growth, have impaired health related quality of life, particularly in mental health domains.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between iron exposure and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The study found that lower volume of red blood cell transfusions in the first 28 days after birth and higher enteral iron exposure in the first 28 days after birth were associated with lower rates of BPD.

Summary: This study examined the growth outcomes of late preterm infants and identified factors associated with failure to recover growth. The results showed that 34% of children did not regain weight at 36 months. Infants who did not regain weight at 12 months were at a higher risk of not regaining weight at 36 months. The same risk factor was also associated with length catch-up growth. Additionally, infants fed any human milk at discharge were protected from failure to achieve weight and length catch-up growth at 36 months.

Summary: A study found that pregnant women with heart disease have an increased risk of fetal growth restriction. Factors such as cyanosis, Fontan palliation, smoking, and other specific factors may contribute to the risk of small for gestational age neonates. Regular risk assessment and appropriate interventions should be considered for these risk factors.

Summary: Among extremely low gestational age neonates who died, rates of withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment varied significantly across centers and were associated with gestational age, race, ethnicity, necrotizing enterocolitis, and severe brain injury.
