Fetal growth: one standard fits all?

This study examines the proportions of small and large for gestational age (SGA/LGA) babies across different countries, compares population growth curves using available datasets, and evaluates them against intergrowth standards. The research includes data from countries like Guangzhou (China), Malawi, Singapore (GUSTO), and AMANHI (involving 5 countries). The analysis covers average fetal length (FL) and biparietal diameter (BPD), gender differences, and variations within each country.
