Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the factors influencing the catch-up growth of 12-months low birth weight infants in Suyu District of Suqian City during the period of COVID-19 prevention and control.MethodsAll 301 low birth weight infants were selected with clustered sampling from the database under authorized useï¼ who made their regular check-ups and follow-ups to 12 months in Suyu District of Suqian City from January 2020 to May 2021. Data were collected on infantsâ basic informationï¼ their birth situation and their weight upon birth and at 12 monthsï¼ while maternal situation during pregnancy and the infantsâ postnatal feeding and diseases were investigated with a questionnaire. Z scores were calculated. All infants were divided into the catch-up growth group and the uncompleted catch-up growth group according to whether the â³Z score was â¥0.67. The influencing factors were analyzed for catch-up growth of the low birth weight infants during the period of COVID-19 prevention and control.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in the rate of small for gestational ageï¼ preterm birthï¼ intrauterine growth retardationï¼ postnatal nutrition enhancement and feeding mode between the two groups. The results in the multifactor logistics regression analysis showed that intrauterine growth retardation ï¼OR=0.070ï¼ 95%CIï¼ 0.015â0.327ï¼ was an obstacle factor for catch-up growthï¼ while postnatal fortified nutrition ï¼OR=6.518ï¼ 95%CI 1.215â34.955ï¼ was a promoting factor for catch-up growth.ConclusionThere is catch-up growth in postnatal weight among most of the low birth weight infants. Postnatal fortified nutrition is beneficial to catch-up growthï¼ while intrauterine growth retardation may induce uncompleted catch-up growth.
