Abstract:
Birth weight and gestational age are two important factors in assessing the neonatal mortality and morbidity. We collected the birth weights of 10,242 newborns who were born at Ewha Womans University Hospital from June, 1976 to June, 1981, including birth weight and gestational age. Mean birth weight with standard deviation for each gestational age and fetal growth curve are presented in single births and twins.
