[Extrauterine growth restriction among neonates with a birthweight less than 1,500grams].

CONCLUSIONS: More than half of newborns ≤1,500 grams have a weight at discharge of <P10. This growth restriction occurs during NICU admission, and affects low birth weight infants less frequently.Urea levels correlate negatively with weight gain, which requires further study of the relationship between growth and the protein compartment.
