Intrauterine Growth Retardation*

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1983
SummaryFetal growth retardation ranks third after prematurity and malformations as a cause of perinatal deaths. Antenatal fetal monitoring (biochemical testing of fetoplacental function plus cardiotocography) has emerged as the most important means of reduction in the number of stillbirths and improvement in the quality of survival of infants who are ...

Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1961
Introduction It is a well-established fact that occasionally children are born at full term whose weight is below 2,500 gm. Such children are for practical reasons labeled as "premature" or "immature," and treated accordingly.

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Small-for-gestational-age fetuses are frequently detected in general obstetric practice. Despite remarkable improvements in our understanding and management of this group of conditions over the past 20 years, much more research is required. During the year reviewed in this article, advances were reported in identification, association/causation ...

Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Pediatrics In Review, 1986
Intrauterine growth retardation can result from a variety of environmental and genetic influences on fetal growth. The sequelae of intrauterine growth retardation resulting from impairment of nutrient flow include low birth weight with sparing of brain growth, polycythemia, and hypoglycemia resulting from decreased storage fuels and defective ...

Growth Retardation

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1989
Growth results from an increase in cell number and/or cell size. Availability of basic building materials (nutrition) and the ability to utilize them (normal organ systems) influence growth. Genes, the blueprints for the organ systems, determine growth efficiency.

Intrauterine Growth Retardation Index

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2001
The objective of the study discussed was to develop an intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) index to detect fetuses with IUGR. The study was conducted in Australia and was based on 219 pregnant women at Wollongong Hospital in the Illawarra region in New South Wales, Australia.
