Antenatal Screening and Risk Factors for Intrauterine Growth Retardation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
Antenatal risk factors in combination with symphysis-fundus distance can identify pregnancies with small infants, who can be divided in genetically small, malformed, and malnourished infants. Only the last category benefit from fetal surveillance. Maternal diseases, pregnancy complications (hypertension), and environmental factors (smoking) are connected to malnourished small infants.
