RESUMEN

Three birth weight standards were applied to 1986 live births and neonatal deaths in Santiago, Chile, in order to ascertain how useful the 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentile birth weights determined by these standards would be for selecting infants at high risk of neonatal death. This article reports the results of that study.
