[Determination of growth scales and ponderal indices in neonates]

By retrospective processing of data from 10,002 neonates the authors prepared tables of birth weights and heights incl. percentiles for the 28th-43rd week of gestation. By processing data concerning 9,893 neonates the authors elaborated ponderal indexes for the 32nd-43rd week of gestation. The tables make it possible to evaluate the nutritional status and proportionality of neonates.
