Prediction of small-for-gestational age by fetal growth rate according to gestational age.
BackgroundSmall-for-gestational age (SGA) infants should be identified before birth because of an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of fetal growth rate by gestational age on the prediction
