What is it about?
Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants have been associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes (APOs). In this work, we assess the predictive ability of the ultrasound-estimated percentile weight (EPW) at 35 weeks of gestational age to predict late-onset SGA and APOs, according to six growth standards, and whether the ultrasound–delivery interval influences the detection rate.

Why is it important?
Screenings for fetal growth abnormalities are essential components of antenatal care, and fetal ultrasound plays a key role in the assessment of these conditions. Small for-gestational-age (SGA) infants have been associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes
Perspectives
A small-for-gestational-age diagnosis is very important due to its potential impact on pregnancy and postpartum outcomes. Using ultrasound tables to make comparisons allows us to adjust the diagnosis and avoid estimation errors.
