Article Synopsis
- The study examined how Indian small for gestational age (SGA) infants grow compared to those appropriate for gestational age (AGA) during their first year.
- A total of 206 healthy term infants (52 SGA and 154 AGA) were tracked from birth to one year, with various measurements taken at specific intervals to analyze growth patterns.
- Results showed that SGA infants consistently had lower weight and length measurements than AGA infants, but growth velocities were similar, with SGA infants showing higher weight velocity at certain ages.
Background: We conducted a sero-survey among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics of six hospitals which also function as sentinel sites for CRS surveillance, to estimate the prevalence of IgG antibodies against rubella.
Methods: We systematically sampled 1800 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics and tested their sera for IgG antibodies against rubella. We classified sera as seropositive (titre ≥10 IU/ml), sero-negative (titre <8 IU/ml) or indeterminate (titre 8-9.
