Expanding the Estimated Fetal Weight Definition of Growth Restriction by Adding Small Abdominal Circumference

The Society for Maternal‐Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) diagnostic criteria for fetal growth restriction (FGR) recently added abdominal circumference (AC) <10th percentile to estimated fetal weight (EFW) <10th percentile; however, its prediction of neonatal morbidity is unknown. Our objective was to compare the two definitions for their prediction of composite neonatal morbidity.
