Birth length (BL) is needed to evaluate the influence of birth size on childhood short stature. However, BL is commonly measured only approximately, if at all. A single-centre study was undertaken to determine the value of measuring accurate and targeted BL and parental height (PH) for neonates with a birth weight (BW) \u22649th centile, identifying short [BL \u2264-2 standard deviation scores (SDS)] and light newborns (BW \u2264-2 SDS), and remeasuring short neonates at 2 years in order to detect those not showing catch-up growth. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Information was collected on all live births (n = 3,798) in a single maternity unit during a 1-year period. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; BW was \u22649th centile in 481 neonates (12.7%) of whom 47 were light but not short, 46 were short, and 60 were both light and short. Of 107 eligible infants, 57 (53%) attended the 2-year follow-up; failure of catch-up growth was identified in 6 infants (11%) of whom only 1 was already known to medical services. PH was measured in both parents of 52\/153 (34%) light and\/or short infants. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Targeted and accurate BL measurement in newborns with a BW \u22649th centile is a promising alternative to the current practices. The feasibility of PH measurement after birth still requires further evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000376611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]],"date-time":"2015-04-01T12:49:16Z","timestamp":1427892556000},"page":"400-407","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Short Stature Screening by Accurate Length Measurement in Infants with a Birth Weight &lt;9th Centile"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Colette","family":"Montgomery Sardar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheena","family":"Kinmond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamila","family":"Siddique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheena","family":"McGowan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendy","family":"Paterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma Jane","family":"Gault","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malcolm","family":"Donaldson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005176-199705000-00001"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.12119"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2005.073007"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(76)80453-2"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(67)80066-0"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2006-2017"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.73.1.17"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1687-9856-2012-11"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beem.2008.03.003"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.301.6761.1111"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2011-3846"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/archdischild-2012-303536"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/archdischild-2011-300872"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60932-6"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.81.3.257"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1994.tb13292.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2004.01.036"}],"container-title":["Hormone Research in Paediatrics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/376611","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/376611","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:44:50Z","timestamp":1745430290000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000376611"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000376611","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1663-2818","1663-2826"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1663-2818","type":"print"},{"value":"1663-2826","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
