Contingent Screening for Small by Weight for Gestational Age Neonates.

Contingent Screening for Small by Weight for Gestational Age Neonates. Pediatr Endocrinol Rev. 2016 Mar;13(3):568-73 Authors: Frick AP, Nicolaides KH, Poon LC Abstract Effective screening for small for gestational age neonates (SGA), in the absence of preeclampsia, can be accomplished using a contingent screening method. The basis for the contingent model is a combined assessment at 19-24 weeks gestation to stratify patients according to their risk. We can then identify prenatally over 90% of SGA neonates for a false positive rate of 10%. PMID: 27116844 [PubMed - in process]
