Ultrasound estimated fetal weight slightly below the median is associated with increased risk of spontaneous preterm birth

ABSTRACT Background This study investigates the possible relationship between ultrasound estimated fetal weight (EFW) at third trimester and the risk of preterm birth following spontaneous preterm labor in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies. Methods We performed a nested case–control study includin...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Background This study investigates the possible relationship between ultrasound estimated fetal weight (EFW) at third trimester and the risk of preterm birth following spontaneous preterm labor in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies. Methods We performed a nested case–control study including 281 cases of spontaneous preterm labor with preterm delivery in the third trimester and 3372 matched controls within a cohort of 6207 consecutive pregnant women.
