Predictive factors for intrauterine growth restriction


Reduced fetal growth is seen in about 10% of the pregnancies but only a minority has a pathological background and is known as
intrauterine growth restriction or fetal growth restriction (IUGR / FGR). Increased fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity as well as
adult pathologic conditions are often associated to IUGR. Risk factors for IUGR are easy to assess but have poor predictive value.
For the diagnostic purpose, biochemical serum markers, ultrasound and Doppler study of uterine and spiral arteries, placental
volume and vascularization, first trimester growth pattern are object of assessment today. Modern evaluations propose combined
algorithms using these strategies, all with the goal of a better prediction of risk pregnancies
