  1. All babies with abnormal values (≤ 10th centile for gestational age) of the individual indices are classified into two groups: The first, symbolized by S, includes cases with abnormal values in a single index (the one indicated in the left hand column) and the second, symbolized by C, includes cases with abnormal values in a combination of indices (including the one indicated in the left hand column). The p values refer to the S and C groups of the individual indices. CANS, Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status Score; BW, birth weight; MAC, mid-arm circumference; PI, ponderal index; CC, chest circumference; HC, head circumference
