Symphysis-fundal height to identify large-for-gestational-age and macrosomia: a meta-analysis
Bivariate diagnostic meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of symphysis-fundal height (SFH) for identifying large-for-gestational- age (LGA) (i.e. birth weight >90th centile according to gestational age) and macrosomia (i.e.
