A Comparison of UK Preterm Anthropometric Charts and INTERGROWTH-21st: Is It Time to Change Growth Charts?

CONCLUSION: Existing UK NICM reference charts are significantly different to the growth standards of INTERGROWTH-21st. The choice of which growth chart to adopt in the UK could have important consequences on premature infants' future adult health and therefore requires further prospective observational studies with larger data sets including length measurements and more comprehensive population characteristics.
