Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Pediatrics Summary: ntroduction: The World Health Organization standards are being widely used in public health and medicine for monitoring the well-being of infants. The standards are used for detection of infants with suboptimal growth. Results: Seventy preterm infants were included. No differences were observed in length and weight by sex, but the greater growth was seen in head circumference which was more marked in female infants than male infants. Preterm infants with no complications showed increase in head circumference more than preterm infants with complications, no differences were observed between two groups in terms of weight and length. Conclusions: This study allows to suggest that changing standards to assess growth in first three months of life would not cause a significant modification in our follow up practice over first three months of life of preterm infants
