| Description | Intrauterine growth restriction that results in lower birth weight and/or birth length (SGA, small for gestational age) is linked to increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality, short stature in childhood and adulthood and may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Published data on the frequency of newborns assigned as SGA vary according to SGA definition and to the method and accuracy of gestational age estimation. We aimed to analyze the impact of methodology of gestational age estimation on frequency of SGA in children of the Moravian branch of the international multicentre study ELSPAC (European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood) and to compare the results with international reference values. |
