Our findings challenge the hypothesis that SGA is associated with impaired pulmonary function in infancy. While subtle differences were observed, they were not statistically or clinically significant. However, as this cohort consisted of symptomatic infants, the findings may not be generalizable to the broader infant population. Population-based studies are needed to further clarify the respiratory outcomes of intrauterine growth restriction.
Hevroni et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
