Abstract

Small for gestational age (SGA) births with multiple aetiologies may lead to short and long term morbidities in babies. In current study we aimed to assess the rate of SGA births, morbidity rates, postnatal complications and maternal risk factors.

Methods and Materials:
A group of 110 babies born in between 38th and 42nd gestational weeks with a birth weight below 10th percentile of their gestational age and other 110 babies, as control group, having similar gestational ages with a birth weight between 10th and 90th percentile were included in our study retrospectively. Forms to find out potential maternal and fetal risk factors for SGA births were filled up during face to face interviews. All of the babies were assessed in compliance with Lubchenko’s maturity and intrauterine growth curves. Accordingly, babies with a birth weight below 10th percentile of their gestational age were classified as SGA whereas those between 10th and 90th percentile were regarded as appropriate for gestational age (AGA)
