Translated title:
Fetal growth restriction. A review of the literature
Summary:
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 5-10% of all pregnancies. It is the second leading cause of perinatal mortality and accounts for 30% of intrauterine fetal deaths. Growth-restricted fetuses are at greater risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality, impaired neurological and cognitive development during childhood and adolescence, and cardiovascular and endocrine disorders during adulthood. From time to time many researchers have used different definitions based on ultrasound findings to define FGR fetuses. In 2016, a multicenter and international study was conducted, where specialists in intrauterine growth retardation defined that the dividing line between early and late FGR is 32 weeks. In this study, an extensive bibliographic analysis will be carried out in order to highlight the international prediction models of intrauterine growth retardation as well as to make the latest studies and data on the specific subject.
