The impact of growth curve changes in assessing premature infant growth.

Objective: To assess the impact of using the recently published WHO growth standard, based on healthy, breastfed infants in multiple countries that excluded prematurely born infants, versus the Infant Health Development Program (IHDP) growth reference constructed from premature infants, on the interpretation of the growth of premature infants after hospital discharge.

Kappa statistics measured overall agreement and agreement in ever classifying infants <5th percentile or ≥ 95th percentile for age between the WHO and IHDP.
