Understanding the effects of being SGA at birth.

Understanding the effects of being SGA at birth. BJOG. 2020 Jun 05;: Authors: Marlow N Abstract Longitudinal neonatal outcome studies are becoming more exciting as we start to evaluate the trajectory of the well described sequelae of prematurity into the young adult effects of being born very preterm. In this issue of BJOG, Eves and colleagues use the Bavarian Longitudinal Study to evaluate the relative effects of being born small for gestational age (SGA) alongside important measures of social advantage and of parent infant relationship measures (BJOG 2020 xxxx). This is as it says - the effect of being small for dates at birth and not the effect of fetal growth restriction (FGR), an important distinction. PMID: 32502328 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
