Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence and risk factors of catch-up growth failure in term small for gestational age (SGA) infants.
- A cohort of 457 SGA infants was tracked from birth to 2 years, revealing that while most showed normal growth, about 12% remained short at 24 months.
- Factors like maternal height, growth metrics, SGA history, and breastfeeding duration were linked to ongoing growth issues, suggesting the need for tailored follow-up and possible treatment.
Background: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) predispose patients to various infectious and non-infectious complications. Thanks to the development and expanding use of flow cytometry and increased awareness, the diagnostic rate of IEI has markedly increased in Algeria the last decade.
Aim: This study aimed to describe a large cohort of Algerian patients with probable IEI and to determine their clinical characteristics and outcomes.
