While the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes decreases with increasing fetal weight percentile, no percentile completely eliminates that risk. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare perinatal outcomes between fetuses with an EFW between the 10th and 20th percentiles and those with an EFW between the 20th and 90th percentiles (i.e., >20 and <90) at the beginning of the accelerated growth stage (28.0–30.0 weeks’ gestation). Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies managed at a quaternary center in Mexico City (2017–2024). Outcomes were compared based on EFW percentiles at 28.0–30.0 weeks. The primary outcome was adverse neonatal outcome (ANeO), defined as the presence of at least one of the following: umbilical artery pH ≤ 7.1, 5 min Apgar ≤ 7, NICU admission, early neonatal hypoglycemia, non-reassuring fetal status, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, or perinatal death. Secondary outcomes included progression to fetal growth restriction (FGR) and low birth weight. Modified Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Among 650 cases, ANeO occurred in 45.8% of fetuses in the 10th–20th percentile group vs. 29.4% in the 20th–90th percentile group (aRR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.22–1.86; p < 0.001). FGR and low birth weight were also more frequent in the 10th–20th percentile group (21.1% and 27.6% vs. 6.4% and 5.8%, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Fetuses between the 10th and 20th percentiles at 28–30 weeks have increased risks of neonatal morbidity, FGR, and low birth weight. ©The authors ©Diagnostics © MDPI AG.

    Objective: To compare neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal growth restriction (FGR) by intended delivery mode.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies with FGR that were delivered ≥34.0 weeks gestation. Neonatal outcomes were compared according to the intended delivery mode, which the attending obstetrician determined. Of note, none of the subjects had a contraindication to labor. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated via logistic regression models to assess the potential association between intended delivery mode and neonatal morbidity defined as a composite outcome (i.e. umbilical artery pH ≤7.1, 5-min Apgar score ≤7, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, hypoglycemia, intrapartum fetal distress requiring expedited delivery, and perinatal death). A sensitivity analysis excluded intrapartum fetal distress requiring emergency cesarean delivery from the composite outcome since only patients with spontaneous labor or labor induction could meet this criterion. Potential confounders in the adjusted effects models included maternal age, body mass index, hypertensive disorders, diabetes, FGR type (i.e. early or late), and oligohydramnios.
