Anderson, N. G. (1976).Aust. paediat. J., 12, 19–23. A five year survey of small for dates infants for chromosomal abnormalities. Beginning in February, 1970 and continuing through to January 1975, a period of 5 years, all babies admitted to the Neonatal Unit were assessed for gestational age. Those babies whose weight, when correlated with gestational age, indicated that they were small for dates, had chromosomal analysis. Over this period, 13034 babies were surveyed and 309 were accepted into the small for dates category. Of these, 6 had major chromosomal abnormalities.
