Abstract
Mathematical models have been fitted to the widely used standards of birth weight by gestational age that were published by Thomson, Billewicz and Hytten (1968). The models give a close fit to the data and allow an individual infant's weight to be scored on a continuous scale as a number of standard deviations from the expected weight. An die weitverbreiteten Standards des Geburtsgewichts nach Gestationsalter wurden mathematische Modelle angepaßt, publiziert von Thomson, Billewicz und Hytten (1968). Die Modelle ergeben eine enge Anpassung an die Daten und erlauben es, das Gewicht eines einzelnen Kindes auf einer kontinuierlichen Skala als eine Anzahl von Standardabweichungen vom erwarteten Gewicht zu bewerten. Des modèles mathématiques ont été ajustés aux standards largement employés de poids de naissance par âge de gestation publiés par Thomson, Billewicz et Hytten (1968). Les modèles donnent un ajustement étroit aux données et permettent de coter le poids d'un enfant sur une échelle continue en nombre d'écarts-types de déviation au poids attendu.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
