Correlation between physical growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in full-term small for gestational age infants within the first 2 years of life

Objective

Small for gestational age (SGA) infants face neurodevelopmental risks, yet early catch-up growth’s link to later outcomes remains unclear. This study explored associations between catch-up growth (weight, length, head circumference) and neurodevelopment in full-term SGA infants during the first 2 years and developed a prediction model.
