Summary

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a key factor in neonatal health. This study found idiopathic IUGR was the most common cause of small for gestational age (SGA) babies in India, with better survival rates than in Western countries.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatalogy
  • Perinatology
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) significantly impacts neonatal mortality, morbidity, and neurological outcomes.
  • Small for gestational age (SGA) babies represent a vulnerable population requiring careful evaluation of perinatal risk factors and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of perinatal risk factors contributing to SGA.
  • To assess the neonatal outcomes of SGA babies in a specific cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 103 SGA babies over one year.
  • Data collection on birth weight, gestational age, maternal conditions, and neonatal complications.

Main Results:

  • SGA prevalence was 3.53%, with a mean birth weight of 1657 gm.

  • Common maternal conditions included toxemia (30.09%) and hypertensive diseases (5.8%).
  • Idiopathic IUGR was the most frequent cause (56.3%), followed by infections, birth asphyxia, polycythemia, jaundice, and hypoglycemia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Idiopathic IUGR is the primary cause of SGA in Indian neonates.
    • SGA neonates experienced significant neonatal problems (58.3%) but demonstrated better survival rates compared to Western counterparts.
