[Intrauterine growth in Chilean middle class newborn infants].
Intrauterine growth of 11,543 newborn infants, liveborn between 1978 to 1987 that met prospective selection conditions (without intrauterine growth retardation risk) and their data are reported. MBW and weight percentiles 10, 25, 50, 75, 90 from 26 throughout 42 week of gestational age are reported. Selection of cases was important in obtaining adequate percentiles of birth-weight vs gestational age. The intrauterine growth pattern herein reported is recommended for evaluation of chilean newborns, because it is different to that of some foreign countries and the studied sample seems representative of chilean babies.
