Sažetak

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means slowing down in fetal growth and development because of poor intrauterine conditions. The aim of the study was to examine growth in preschool children born with IUGR in Maternity Department of General Hospital Požega. Methods: Body weight, height and head circumference were measured in 50 children born with IUGR and in control group of children. Children in the control group had normal birth weight and were matched with IUGR children for chronological age, gestational age and sex. Results: Comparison of two groups according to weight, height and head circumference have shown statistical significance for all three variables ( BW P 0,002; BH P 0,001, HC P<0,001). Five of the children examined had the weight bellow 5th centile and three of them had microcephaly. Conclusion: IUGR children had significantly lower body weight, height and head circumference then children in control group. After birth, IUGR children often show catch up growth which continues for the first 6 months of life. In certain number of children that proccess failed so they remained short through adulthood.
