ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To study the effect of decreased estimated fetal weight (EFW) percentiles in appropriate for gestational age fetuses.METHODS:
This retrospective cohort study included women who had second and third trimester ultrasound examinations. Delivery and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies with decreased EFW of ≥ 30 percentiles in EFW between ultrasound examinations (decreased growth group) and those without such a decrease (control group) were compared. Deliveries with EFW or birthweight below the 10th percentile were excluded.RESULTS:
Among 1610 deliveries, 57 were in the decreased growth group and 1553 in the control group. Maternal characteristics did not differ between the groups except for higher rate of nulliparity in the decreased growth group. We found similar rates of Category II/III monitoring, cesarean deliveries due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate and adverse neonatal outcomes. Neonatal birthweight was lower in the decreased growth group as compared to controls.CONCLUSIONS:
This study did not find association between the group of appropriate for gestational age fetuses with decreased growth, with adverse outcomes.
