Birthweights of preterm Nigerian infants of 26-36 weeks' gestation.
The birthweights of 678 liveborn singleton preterm infants born at between 26 and 36 weeks of gestation are analysed. The mean (SD) birthweights and the centile chart are supplied. We believe the data may be of value to paediatricians in tropical countries who manage preterm low birthweight infants.
