Influence of different methods for calculating gestational age at birth on prematurity and small for gestational age proportions: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Abstract: Background Recognizing premature newborns and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) is essential for providing care and supporting public policies. This systematic review aims to identify the influence of the last menstrual period (LMP) compared to ultrasonography (USG) before 24 weeks of gestation references on prematurity and SGA proportions at birth. Methods Systematic review with meta-analysis followed the recommendations of the PRISMA Statement. Pub… Show more

“…Improve counting of preterm births is a priority in planning and monitoring actions to achieve national Sustainable Development Goals ( 2 ). In a recent meta-analysis study, our group reported higher values in the proportion of preterm birth, ranging from 1% to 3% when the LMP is the reference compared to obstetric ultrasound until 24 weeks of gestation ( 43 ). This way, accessible and more accurate approaches are welcome to obtain a reliable GA at birth.…”

“…In the study of the Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group SGA - Preterm Birth Working Group, the prevalence of the low birth weight, preterm and SGA phenotype was 0.7% in Latin America, 1.6% in Africa, and 2.3% in Asia 27 . Regarding the methodological choices, the factors include different diagnostic approaches to gestational age 28 , different curves to assess the adequacy of weight for gestational age 22 , 29 , 30 , the type of basis of the study - population or hospital - the inclusion and exclusion criteria of newborns, especially at risk, such as twins and those with congenital malformations, who usually have higher frequencies of low weight, prematurity, and fetal growth restriction 31 , 32 , 33 . Notably, in Brazil, most deliveries occur in hospitals, which would be less relevant for national studies 15 .…”

“…After classification, live births were described according to maternal characteristics. Sociodemographic variables included age group (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) and ≥ 35 years old); skin color (white, black and brown), and schooling (0-3; 4-7 and ≥ 8 years of study). Parity was evaluated according to the number of previous deliveries (zero: primiparous and ≥ 1: multiparous).…”

“…No estudo do Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group SGA -Preterm Birth Working Group, a prevalência do fenótipo baixo peso ao nascer, pré-termo e PIG foi de 0,7% na América Latina, 1,6% na África e 2,3% na Ásia 27 . Quanto às escolhas metodológicas, os fatores abrangem diferentes abordagens diagnósticas da idade gestacional 28 , diferentes curvas para avaliar adequação do peso para idade gestacional 22,29,30 , tipo de base do estudo -populacional ou hospitalar -, critérios de inclusão e exclusão dos recém-nascidos (principalmente de risco, como gemelares e aqueles portadores de malformações congênitas, que costumam apresentar mais frequentemente baixo peso, prematuridade e restrição do crescimento fetal) 31,32,33 . Deve ser lembrado que, no Brasil, a grande maioria dos partos ocorre em hospitais; portanto, este fator pesaria menos para estudos nacionais 15 .…”
