Serial plotting of symphysis–fundal height and estimated fetal weight to improve the antenatal detection of infants small for gestational age: A cluster randomised trial
Abstract:Objective
To assess whether standardised longitudinal reporting of growth monitoring information improves antenatal detection of infants who are small for gestational age (SGA), compared with usual care.
Design
Cluster‐randomised controlled trial.
Setting
Sixteen French level‐3 units in 2018–2019.
Population
Singleton pregnancies.
Methods
The intervention consisted of the serial plotting of symphysis–fundal height (SFH) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) measurements on customised growth charts using a software … Show more
