At hospital discharge 44.5% had EUGR, 56.1% of which were born with low weight for gestational age; 27/57 were classified as EUGR in severe category; 22.7% required pulmonary surfactant at birth and 84.2% presented bronchopulmonary dysplasia. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The prevalence of EUGR at discharge in our unit is high and higher in low birth weight neonates who were 10 times more at risk. The use of surfactant was a protective factor.</p> ER -
