Independent risk factors for infants who are small for gestational age by customised birthweight centiles in a multi-ethnic New Zealand population.
Infants born small for gestational age (SGA) by customised birthweight centiles are at increased risk of adverse outcomes compared with those SGA by population centiles. Risk factors for customised SGA have not previously been described in a general obstetric population. ⋯ We report independent pregnancy risk factors for customised SGA in a general obstetric population. In contrast to population SGA, obesity is associated with increased risk. Our findings may help identify pregnancies that require increased fetal growth surveillance.
