Key issues in perinatal growth.

F Falkner

    Acta Paediatrica Scandinavica. Supplement
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fetal growth is influenced by fetal, maternal, and placental factors. Accurate fetal growth curves are crucial for predicting perinatal outcomes, especially for preterm and small-for-gestational-age infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Medicine
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Fetal growth is a complex process influenced by numerous factors.
    • Understanding these factors is essential for assessing fetal well-being and predicting outcomes.
    • Current methods for evaluating fetal growth require refinement for improved predictive accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the key stages and progression of fetal growth.
    • To identify and discuss factors influencing fetal growth, including fetal, maternal, and feto-maternal elements.
    • To emphasize the importance of fetal growth curves with predictive value for perinatal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on fetal growth and development.
    • Discussion of placental and genetic influences on fetal growth.
    • Analysis of factors affecting fetal growth progression.

    Main Results:

    • Fetal growth progresses through distinct stages, influenced by a combination of genetic, placental, maternal, and fetal factors.
    • Placental function and genetic makeup play significant roles in regulating fetal development.
    • Various maternal and fetal conditions can impact growth trajectories.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate fetal growth assessment is critical for determining perinatal outcomes.
    • Fetal growth curves with predictive capabilities are necessary for clinical application.
    • Particular attention must be paid to the differing outcomes of preterm and small-for-gestational-age infants.
