A new competing-risks model, based on maternal characteristics and medical history, provides estimation of patient-specific risks for SGA in which GA at delivery and birth-weight Z-score are treated as continuous variables. Such estimation of the a-priori risk for SGA is an essential first step in the use of Bayes' theorem to combine maternal factors with biomarkers for the continuing development of more effective methods of screening for SGA.
