Data were collected retrospectively on 191 successive admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 1, 1983, and December 31, 1992. These included: demographic and maternal information, delivery mode and condition at birth, mortality, neonatal intensive care unit morbidities (respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosis [PDA], chronic lung disease [CLD], retinopathy of prematurity [ROP], necrotizing enterocolitis, infection), nutrition, and length of hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results.\u2003Forty-one (21%) of the 191 infants were classified as SGA. Those with congenital anomalies (10% in the SGA and 2% in the AGA group) were excluded from further analysis. Despite a similar rate of respiratory distress syndrome (50%), the SGA infants had a greater rate of failure of indomethacin treatment for PDA closure (54% vs 32% for AGA), a higher risk for CLD defined as a need for supplementary oxygen at 36 weeks (65% vs 32% for AGA), a more prolonged need for oxygen supplementation and ventilatory support (94 days vs 68 days for AGA and 58 days vs 40 days for AGA, respectively).
