New birthweight percentiles by sex and gestational age in Southern China and its comparison with the INTERGROWTH-21st Standard

We first showed the sex- and gestational age (week)-specific birthweight distributions from primiparous and multiparous mothers. Birthweight percentiles were created by using the Lambda Mu Sigma (LMS) method. We established the birthweight percentiles in Southern China and provide clinicians and res...

Sumario:We first showed the sex- and gestational age (week)-specific birthweight distributions from primiparous and multiparous mothers. Birthweight percentiles were created by using the Lambda Mu Sigma (LMS) method. We established the birthweight percentiles in Southern China and provide clinicians and researchers with up-to-date population norms of birthweight percentiles. Then we use the data from Birth Certificate System between Jan 1st, 2017 and Oct 31st, 2017, which included 1,245,364 live births to calculate SGA and LGA ratio by these three birthweight references- the new INTERGROWTH-21st standard, China’s 2015 research standard and our birthweight percentiles. The overall prevalence of SGA estimated by our standards, the China’s 2015 research standards and INTERGROWTH-21st standards, were 10.21%, 12.93% and 7.98%, respectively, whereas the overall prevalence of LGA was 9.88%, 4.48% and 8.37%, respectively.
