The growth of the fetus, which is strongly associated with the outcome of pregnancy, reflects interplay of several physiological and pathological factors. The assessment of fetal growth is based on comparison of birthweight (BW) or estimated fetal weight (EFW) to standards which define reference ranges at a spectrum of gestational ages.

متن کاملRe: Customised birthweight centiles predict SGA pregnancies with perinatal morbidity.
OBJECTIVES To determine the following: (1) the proportion of babies reclassified as small or appropriately grown using customized and population centiles; and (2) the relative risks of perinatal morbidity, including abnormal umbilical Doppler studies, in babies classified as small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (non-SGA) using the two centile calculations. DESIG...

متن کاملCan a customized standard for large for gestational age identify women at risk of operative delivery and shoulder dystocia?

METHODS We previously generated customized standards from our institution. We compared the baseline maternal characteristics and neonatal outcomes between LGA and non-LGA births, which were classified by both population-base...
