Abstract

Fetal growth retardation is among the commonest referal indications to our hospital. Proper classification is a must and an appropriate graphics to compare are needed. The aim of the study was to obtain a graphic of weight vs. gestational age from normal subjects. 10.553 neonates were included from healthy mothers with reliable last menstruation. No pathologic condition was found (other than preterm labor). Data base was imported to the STATA 6.0 statiscal pack and percentils were determined for every gestational age from 30 to 42 weeks gestation.
