The association between SGA/FGR and stillbirth and is further shown by assessing the impact of antenatal detection on outcome.
As the figure shows, a baby SGA/FGR in utero has a substantially increased risk; this risk is even higher if the SGA status is not detected; and approximately halved if it IS detected.
Antenatal detection results in earlier delivery, but only by an average of ten days, which is a reflection that most of these cases are late onset FGR.
