TL;DR
Patterns of fetal growth which are seen in various maternal and/or fetal diseases or conditions are defined and specific morbidities occurring at various positions on the charts are suggested.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to define patterns of fetal growth which are seen in various maternal and/or fetal diseases or conditions. It is also designed to demonstrate the value of using intrauterine growth charts to detect high-risk newborn infants and to suggest specific morbidities occurring at various positions on the charts.KeywordsBirth WeightFetal GrowthHead CircumferenceIntrauterine Growth RetardationDiabetic MotherThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

The median weights of Colorado babies were found to be lower at 40 weeks of gestation than the national median, and mean weights at 40 and 42 weeks were lower than those given by other authors.

Charts of intrauterine growth in length, weight-length ratio and head circumference as estimated from liveborn measurements are presented to permit the identification of infants with unusual intrauterne growth patterns.

It is suggested that the fetal growth curve during much of the third trimester follows a straight-line course, and it is likely that the normal birth weight curves of various population groups do not differ from one another during the first half of the fourth trimester or somewhat longer.

One county had a much higher incidence of prematurity than any of the others and has been the object of more intensive study, and the possibility that altitude was responsible for the small babies was considered.

The phenotypic expression of the XO syndrome, a pattern of multiple anomalies, allows for clinical recognition at all ages, and linear growth proceeded at a slow rate and there is no evident adolescent growth spurt.

It is indicated that an increased excretion of gonadotropins represented only one of the variations in the pattern of sexual maturation that may occur in children with this Syndrome.

The distribution of birth weights at various gestational ages are presented for all single births occurring in Baltimore City in 1959, 1960, and 1961 and there is striking agreement between these data and those of a similar study from New York City.

The hypothesis that nonwhite infants at lower weights are more mature than white infants is looked into, at least insofar as maturity is measured by duration of gestation.

It has been shown that the average birth weight of white infants is higher than that of Negro newborn infants, and since the clinic population is composed mainly of white children, this study was restricted to the birth weightOf white infants.
