The INTERGROWTH-21st project
The International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century, or INTERGROWTH-21st, is a global, multidisciplinary network of more than 300 researchers and clinicians from 27 institutions in 18 countries worldwide and coordinated from the University of Oxford.
The primary purpose of the project is the creation of new "prescriptive" standards describing normal fetal growth, preterm growth, and newborn nutritional status. The worldwide use of these tools should improve infants’ healthcare and nutritional status.
