The combination of maternal risk factors, EFW, UtA-PI and PlGF provide effective second trimester prediction of SGA. Serum PlGF is useful for predicting SGA <3rd percentile born <30 weeks after an inclusive assessment by maternal risk factors and biophysical markers. Similar detection rates and FPRs can be achieved by the application of contingency screening strategies. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
