Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the impact of undetected small for gestational age (SGA) on neonatal outcomes, particularly focusing on preterm cases.
Analyzed neonatal outcomes in a Chinese cohort.
Compared morbidity between preterm and term undetected SGA cases.
Examined prenatal factors influencing SGA identification.
Undetected preterm SGA associated with higher morbidity compared to term SGA.
Specific prenatal complications linked to poor outcomes in SGA infants.

Implication

Observational study finds undetected SGA increases adverse neonatal outcomes, suggesting urgent identification is needed.

Abstract

Undetected SGA was associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. Preterm undetected SGA carried a disproportionately high morbidity burden compared to term undetected SGA. Prenatal factors, including maternal complications, umbilical cord and placental abnormalities, played a crucial role in identifying SGA.
