Objective To evaluate the short term growth of premature infants receiving post-discharge-formula (PDF). Methods Prospective-controlled trial was employed, and 197 infants in the third-grade class-A hospital from the urban of Hunan were chosen.These infants were classified as post-discharge-formula group (PDF group) and term infant formula group (TF group).Importantly, monthly weight/length and monthly head circumference were collected from different time.All the data was processed by the statistic software (SPSS 16.0).χ2-test and t-test analysis were employed in the processing. Results There were no significant differences (P＞0.05)about basic data between PDF group and TF group.[n=103, gestation (32.31±2.0) weeks, birth weight (1 797.94±426.77)g, birth length (39.17±3.30)cm, birth head circumference (28.40±2.25)cm]VS[n=97, gestation (32.31±2.02) weeks, birth weight(1 807.32±432.15)g, birth length (39.20±3.36)cm], birth head circumference (28.39±2.25)cm].But the PDF group had much faster term growth than the TF group at the 1, 2 and 3 months after gestational age was corrected.The difference between of them were significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion Post-discharge-formula is much better than term infant formula about the growth of infants.
