Abstract: Objective To investigate the difference of nerve behavior among the different types of fullterm small for gestational age infants(SGA) infants and the reasons.Methods The neonatal behavioral neurological assessment(NBNA) scores were given for 148 full-term SGA infants aged 7,14 and 28 days born in Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University.The comparason analysis was conducted among three types including symmetic,asymmetric and the mixture of them.Results Significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) were found between the NBNA scores for full-term SGA infants and normal infants.The NABA scores of full-term SGA infants were lower than those of normal infants.The NBNA scores for three types of full-term SGA infants followed the order of asymmetric ＞ symmetric ＞ mixture of them,significant difference was found between any two types of three types(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Full-term SGA infants show the poorer quality of nerve behavior compared with the nomal infants.The neurodevelopment levels for three types of full-term SGA infants are asymmetric,symmetric,mixture of them in the order.
