Prediction of perinatal morbidity at term in small fetuses: comparison of fetal growth and Doppler ultrasound

Objective To compare fetal growth assessed by ultrasound (change in standard deviation score of abdominal circumference and estimated fetal weight) during the third trimester with predelivery ultrasound measurements of fetal size and Doppler measurements from the umbilical and fetal arteries in order to predict suboptimal perinatal outcome in small babies at term.
