The association of gestational age discrepancy in the growth restricted fetus at anatomy ultrasound with small for gestational age neonates: a retrospective cohort study
Key Points
To examine the link between gestational age discrepancy and outcomes in growth restricted fetuses.
Retrospective cohort study design
Included fetuses classified as growth restricted
Analyzed gestational age discrepancies at anatomy ultrasound
Assessed outcomes at birth, including SGA and Apgar scores
GA discrepancy >10 days was not linked to increased risk of SGA
Associated with higher risk of persistent growth restriction
Linked to a greater occurrence of 5-min Apgar scores <3
Abstract
A GA discrepancy >10 days in FGR at anatomy scan was not associated with an increased risk of SGA but was associated with an increased risk of persistent FGR and 5-min Apgar scores <3.
