Significant variability exists the criteria used define EUGR a standard definition not yet established. Several factors associated with have identified, remains problem infants. There still much be explored regarding risk EUGR. Objective To determine prevalence Methods This cross-sectional study included randomly selected premature (<37 weeks gestational age) who were admitted levels II III Neonatal Ward at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital from May 2022 August 2023. Results Of 185 subjects, of was 47% there significant associations between birth weight <1500 g (PR 8.814; 95%CI: 3.943 19.7; P=0.000), small for age/SGA 28.95; 3.79 220.1; neonatal sepsis 4.29; 2.21 8.31; hyaline membrane disease/HMD 2.12; 1.16 3.88; P=0.021), use respiratory support 2.57; 1.35 4.92; P=0.005), initiation enteral nutrition >48 hours 2.23; 1.21 4.09; P=0.014) length stay/LOS >14 days 8.11; 4.13 15.9; P=0.000). Multivariate analysis revealed (aPR 5.14; 1.55 17.06; P=0.007), SGA 24.26; 2.64 222.6; presence 2.35; 1.00 5.5; P=0.049), hospital stay 4.93; 2.15 11.31; P=0.000) maintained positive Conclusion The 47%.
