Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To compare the performance of 3 fetal growth standards-Hadlock, the Asian standards of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD.a), and Hong Kong standards-in predicting small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants and associated adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) in a Southern Chinese population. METHODS: Retrospective multicenter cohort study of 2763 singleton pregnancies (28-40 weeks). Estimated fetal weight (EFW) was calculated using the Hadlock formula, and SGA was defined as EFW
