Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) affects 15-20 per cent of live births in developing countries, increasing the risk of still births, perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. These neonates have a high incidence of long term intellectual and neurological problems and some chronic diseases. Only 25 per cent of fetal malnutrition is accomplished by maternal risk factors known to cause intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) i.e. chronic hypertension, advanced diabetes mellitus, or severe preeclampsia.

Abstract


Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) affects 15-20 per cent of live births in developing countries, increasing the risk of still births, perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. These neonates have a high incidence of long term intellectual and neurological problems and some chronic diseases. Only 25 per cent of fetal malnutrition is accomplished by maternal risk factors known to cause intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) i.e. chronic hypertension, advanced diabetes mellitus, or severe preeclampsia.
