Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Pediatrics Summary: This study aims to compare baseline metabolic markers in late preterm infants born either small or appropriate for gestational age and to assess the effect of early nutrition on development of metabolic abnormalities early in life in both AGA and SGA late preterm infants. We conducted a prospective, observational study on AGA and SGA late preterm infants. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), insulin resistance, and lipid profile were measured on the 1st day and in the 2nd week of life. Overall 81 infants (41 AGA and 40 SGA) were included in the study. At the time of enrollment, there was no difference in blood pressure, insulin resistance, and lipid profile. At follow-up SGA patients had significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure (48 - 11 mm Hg vs. 42 - 11 mm Hg, p {u00BC} 0.04), and decreased IGF-1 (139 ng/mL [119-153] vs. 124 ng / mL [115-138], p {u00BC} 0.05). No linear association was found between the insulin resistance and either birth weight percentile, day of life, or average 1st week daily caloric intake
