Abstract
The centile chart currently in use for Western Cape birth weight for gestational age covers a gestational age range from 28 to 42 weeks. Advances in maternal, fetal and neonatal medicine allow interventions prior to 28 weeks; a growing need therefore exists to extend the chart down to at least 24 weeks.
