    Classification of Newborn

    Newborns are classified based on their intrauterine growth and gestational age using their ponderal index, which is calculated by multiplying their weight in grams by 100 and dividing by their length in centimeters cubed. A ponderal index of less than 2 indicates asymmetric intrauterine growth restriction, while a ponderal index greater than 2 represents symmetric intrauterine growth restriction and can also occur in term appropriate for gestational age newborns.

    CLASSIFICATION OF NEW BORNS (BOTH SEXES) BY INTRA UTERINE GROWTH AND GESTATIONAL AGE

    PONDERAL INDEX
    =

    WT IN GRAMS X 100
    ( LENGTH IN CM)3

    IF PONDERAL INDEX IS <2 =ASYMMETRIC IUGR


    IF PONDERAL INDEX IS >2= SYMMETRIC IUGR (ALSO IN TERM AGA)
