Angiogenic factor levels across severity stages of fetal smallness with or without associated pre‐eclampsia
Serum levels of angiogenic factors became more abnormal as the severity stage of fetal smallness increased. This association with severity was stronger in the presence of pre-eclampsia. However, absolute values of serum levels showed substantial overlap in both the presence and the absence of pre-eclampsia, making their use in determining the severity stage of fetal smallness challenging. © 2026 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
