SGA, 82% (54/66) had compared 76% (65/86) non-SGA. Intervillous fibrin deposits (p=0.013) smaller (p=0.008) more common SGA; whereas inflammatory-immune process Original reports did not employ objective classification system, thereby risking subjective or variable interpretation by clinicians. In conclusion, plays an important role neonatal management. quality improvement project improve examination.
