Antenatal identification of early- and late-onset fetal growth restriction and the possible impact of the introduction of cerebroplacental ratio: Effect on perinatal and childhood outcome

Identified early-onset FGR fetuses benefited from identification with a decreased risk of stillbirth at the price of an increased risk for severe newborn and childhood outcomes. For late-onset FGR the advantages were undetectable; identification was associated with an increased risk for severe childhood outcome, while the negative association with stillbirth did not reach significance.
