Fetal growth restriction is an important part of monitoring a pregnancy. Because guidelines or diagnostic criteria for either minor or major thrombophilia are scarce, this systematic review aims to summarize the present knowledge in the field. We performed the CRD42022376006 protocol in Prospero with a systematic literature search in PubMed and Web of Science databases and included original full-text articles (randomized control trials and clinical trials) from the last 10 years, published in English, and with the "thrombophilia AND (pregnancy OR diagnostic criteria) AND fetal growth restriction" criteria.

- - This study investigates the use of fetal scalp pH monitoring in assessing fetal distress, highlighting its limitations compared to the standard fetal heart rate monitoring, which is more commonly used despite its drawbacks in confirming distress.
- - The research emphasizes the importance of exploring new technologies, such as modern physics and nanomaterials, to improve fetal monitoring methods and better inform obstetricians during critical decisions.
- - Fetal scalp pH sampling is still being evaluated for its effectiveness in current obstetric practices, particularly for cases like intrauterine growth restriction, suggesting that advancements in nanomedicine could enhance its application and overall maternal-fetal health outcomes.
Unlabelled: Prelabor preterm rupture of the membranes (PPROM) refers to the rupture of the membranes before 37 weeks, but also before the onset of labor. Approximately 3% of pregnancies are complicated by PPROM, which is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the benefit of expectant management in PPROM, compared to immediate birth, defined in our study as birth in the first 48 h.
