Introduction: Fetuses with growth abnormalities are at an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate if placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), or the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio were efficient predictive factors of adverse neonatal outcomes in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) newborns.
Methods: A prospective observational multicenter cohort study was performed between 2020 and 2023.
Background: Fetal weight is currently estimated from fetal biometry parameters using heuristic mathematical formulas. Fetal biometry requires measurements of the fetal head, abdomen, and femur. However, this examination is prone to inter- and intraobserver variability because of factors, such as the experience of the operator, image quality, maternal characteristics, or fetal movements.
