This activity will introduce an innovative growth reference tool which describes preterm infant growth under contemporary neonatal practice. The new growth reference tool may provide a means to change growth assessment in the NICU to provide better understanding of the impact of neonatal morbidity and nutrition on growth. At the conclusion of this activity, learners will critically review current assessment methods in their unit to determine if adoption of the new postnatal growth chart is beneficial and appropriate to implement its use within their patient population.

1. Discuss the different growth reference tools for preterm infants, and the limitations associated with intrauterine growth charts.
2. Describe the basic principles in the development of the Postnatal Growth Charts for Preterm Infants.
3. Demonstrate descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive use of the Postnatal Growth Charts for Preterm Infants.
