Introduction: Small-for-gestational age (SGA) newborns are at increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes and the risk is related to the etiology of growth restriction: highest in placental insufficiency, lowest in constitutional SGA. The aim of this study was to investigate if placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1) or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio are efficient in prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in SGA newborns delivered ≥34 weeks of gestation.
Methods: A prospective observational multicenter cohort study was performed.
