A 10-year experience of protocol-based management of fetal growth restriction: perinatal outcomes in late pregnancy cases diagnosed after 32 weeks.

Objective To report our 10-year experience of protocol-based management of FGR, defined by standardized clinical and Doppler criteria, in late pregnancy cases. Methods A retrospective cohort was constructed of consecutive singleton pregnancies referred for late (\u003e32 weeks) small-for-gestational age (SGA) [estimated fetal weight Results A total of 1197 pregnancies with EFW p95 and CPR centile Conclusion Our 10-y experience supports that a protocol-based risk stratification with different management and monitoring schemes for late-pregnancy SGA suspected babies allows identification and tailored assessment of high-risk FGR while allowing expectant management with safe perinatal outcomes in low-risk SGA fetuses.
