Introduction: The intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is defined by weight and/or height below the 10th percentile of reference population curve.
Goal: To determine the predictors of small size at the age of 2 years
Method: Longitudinal prospective study from 2012 to 2016. We followed the growth in height and weight of children born with IUGR at term up to the age of 2 years.
Results: 457 newborns were collected. The IUGR accounted for 3.9% of all births. 12.1% of children have a height delay, the predictive factors identified for short stature at 2 years are maternal height, history of IUGR, height of the child compared to the target height, difference between birth size and target height, weight index and gain in weight and size at 6 months.
Conclusion: In our study, the frequency of stature delay at the age of 2 years is close to the results already published in the world. The predictive factors vary from one study to another, due to the heterogeneity of the IUGR group. The prevalence of IUGR is unknown in Algeria. The identification of predictive factors of a small size make it possible to carry out an early diagnosis of the delay in height by a regular and targeted follow-up, and thus to improve the quality of the care.
