Table 5.
Median growth velocity (IQR) from birth to discharge in infants with gastroschisis. Velocities were compared between infants who developed weight or length growth failure and infants who did not develop weight or length growth failure at discharge.
| All Infants | Growth Failure | No Growth Failure | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight gain velocity (g/kg/d) | 5.8 (4.3–7.0) | 5.2 (4.1, 6.9) | 6.1 (5.2, 7.2) | 0.32 |
| Length velocity (cm/week) | 0.6 (0.5–0.8) | 0.58 (0.17, 0.74) | 1.0 (0.83, 1.4) | 0.01 |
| Head circumference velocity (cm/week) | 0.8 (0.4–1.1) | 0.58 (0.41, 0.74) | 0.67 (0.41, 0.74) | 0.16 |
