METHODS: Observational, descriptive, and prospective study of a cohort of 392 children enrolled in 10 KMCP who present in their follow-up a nutritional risk or a malnutrition (Weight <-2 SD [Standard Deviation]); from families with incomes <2 current legal minimum wages and who receive a high-nutritional-valued, monthly-delivered groceries with educational talks after 3 months of corrected age...

INTRODUCTION: There is no consensus on which neonatal chart is best to use in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The aim of the study was to compare the Fenton 2013 and Intergrowth-21st (IW-21) charts based on their predictive ability for somatometry at 2 years, as well as to analyze factors related to short stature at 2 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cohort of children with VLBW born between 2002 and 2017. Association between neonatal somatometry (z-score by Fenton and IW-21) and risk of short stature (<-2 DS), head circumference <-2 DS and malnutrition at 2 years (BMI < -2 DS) was analyzed (WHO charts)...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the predictive capacity of gestational weight gain recommendations regarding low birth weight (LBW) and neonatal macrosomia, proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Latin American Center of Perinatology (CLAP). MATE RIALS AND METHODS: The bibliographic search was performed in PubMed, Embase (via Ovid), Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, Sco pus, LILACS and SciELO. Methodological quality was evaluated using QUADAS 2. RESULTS: A total of 1,192 articles were identified, only 5 articles met the inclusion criteria, no study evluated the CLAP recomendations...
