Stillbirth Risk and Smallness for Gestational Age According to Hadlock, INTERGROWTH-21st, WHO, and GROW Fetal Weight Standards: Analysis by Maternal Ethnicity and Body Mass Index

Abstract

(Abstracted from Am J Obstet Gynecol 2023;229:547.e1–13 Fetal growth during pregnancy is an important marker of fetal health, and fetal growth restriction (FGR) is highly correlated with stillbirth. To mitigate this risk, fetal growth must be assessed accurately and appropriately to recognize risk factors that point to FGR versus a normally developing fetus.
