Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Small for gestational age (SGA) infants comprise up to 50% of all stillbirths and a minority are detected before birth. We aimed to develop and validate early pregnancy predictive models for SGA infants. METHODS: 5628 participants from SCOPE, a prospective study of nulliparous pregnant women, were interviewed at 15 +/- 1 weeks' gestation. Fetal anthropometry, uterine and umbilical Doppler studies were performed at 20 +/- 1 weeks'. The cohort was divided into training (n = 3735) and validation datasets (n = 1871). All-SGA (birthweight /= 3500 g, >12 months to conceive, university student, cigarette smoking, proteinuria, daily vigorous exercise and diastolic blood pressure >/= 80. Recreational walking >/= 4 times weekly, rhesus negative blood group and increasing random glucose were protective. AUC for clinical risk factors was 0.63.
