This review covers screening, diagnosis, and treatment for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Early detection and specific interventions like aspirin can improve outcomes for high-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a significant concern in perinatal medicine.
  • Accurate screening and diagnosis are crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on the screening, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of IUGR.
  • To identify best practices for managing fetal growth restriction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed and Cochrane databases.
  • Systematic review of studies on IUGR screening, diagnosis, and management.

Main Results:

  • Screening relies on risk factors and symphysis-fundus height; diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasonography.
  • Improved diagnostic accuracy may be achieved with customized growth curves, charts, and advanced Doppler ultrasonography.

  • Prophylaxis with acetylsalicylic acid or heparin, and targeted treatment of infections or asthma, may reduce IUGR incidence.
  • Antenatal corticosteroids reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality; bed rest is ineffective.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current screening and diagnostic methods for IUGR are established but can be enhanced.
    • Specific prophylactic and therapeutic strategies show promise in reducing IUGR incidence and improving perinatal outcomes.
