Objective: To assess the predictive value of selected growth phenotypes for neonatal morbidity and mortality in preterm infants 97th percentile of BW. Stunting as being 95%) and positive predictive value (70-90%), with poor sensitivity and low negative predictive value. Conclusion: The BNRN phenotypes at birth differed markedly from the IG21 standard and showed poor accuracy in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes.
