Patient's question:
My daughter is a premature baby, so to say, everything my daughter does must be calculated based on her corrected age. Then, how should I calculate my child's correct corrected age?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend, when caring for premature infants, feeding them, and managing their health, we need to use the concept of corrected gestational age, rather than simply calculating based on the baby's birth date. Corrected gestational age = actual postnatal age - (40 weeks - gestational age at birth) / 4. When calculating developmental indicators such as the baby's height and weight, the corrected age should also be used as described above.
