Abstract:IntroductionSmall for gestational age (SGA) neonates are often born to mothers with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Here, we aimed to explore the morphometric characteristics of the placenta during the perinatal period associated with SGA risk in mothers with PIH and identify the risk factors related to SGA.MethodsThe medical records of 134 neonates born between 28- and 32-weeks’ gestation to PIH mothers were retrospectively analyzed. Placental morphology and umbilical cord (UC) length were compared betw… Show more
