Detection of small for gestational age babies and perinatal outcomes following implementation of the Growth Assessment Protocol at a New Zealand tertiary facility: An observational intervention study

Timely detection of small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses is important for reducing severe perinatal morbidity and mortality, and better tools are needed to detect SGA in maternity care.
