First-trimester screening for early and late small-for-gestational-age neonates using maternal serum biochemistry, blood pressure and uterine artery Doppler

Abstract

First-trimester screening predicts early SGA mainly because of its strong association with pre-eclampsia. Although prediction of late SGA was poorer, at a high false-positive rate it might be considered as part of a first-trimester strategy to select women requiring ultrasound assessment in the third trimester.
