of Rogers, Fok 2003 and Guangzhou studies but weighted more than those of Woo and Fok 1987 studies. The percentage of SGA neonates was underestimated by Woo (6.0%), Fok 1987 (2.7%) and Fok 2003 (1.8%) percentiles. On the other hands, the percentage of LGA neonates was overestimated by Woo (13.6%) percentiles but underestimated by Rogers (8.8%) and Fok 2003 (2.2%) percentiles. Conclusions: The new birthweight reference in our study showed a small increase trend in birthweight of term and post term infants especially when compared with older studies. On the other hands, mildly preterm infants in our study weighted less than those from recent studies. It is important to utilise an updated reference to avoid misclassification of SGA and LGA infants in clinical management.
