Reduced growth velocity from the mid-trimester is associated with placental insufficiency in fetuses born at a normal birthweight

Reduced growth velocity from the mid-trimester is associated with placental insufficiency in fetuses born at a normal birthweight

Abstract Background Fetal growth restriction (FGR) due to placental insufficiency is a major risk factor for stillbirth. While small-for-gestational-age (SGA; weight < 10th centile) is a commonly used proxy for FGR, detection of FGR among appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA; weight ≥ 10th centil...
