SGA newborns who did not have systemic were at a greater risk of an MDI <55 than those with neither SGA nor systemic inflammation. SGA infants with elevated (IL)-1β, TNF-α, or IL-8 in first 2 weeks were at even higher risk of an MDI <55 than SGA peers without systemic inflammation and non-SGA peers with systemic inflammation.
