- Abstract
Despite advances in antenatal care, fetal growth restriction (FGR) continues to contribute to excess perinatal mortality and morbidity. The literature has recently been enriched with several landmark studies on FGR, which will facilitate standardization of the diagnostic criteria, identification of the at-risk fetus, prenatal screening, candidate preventors and optimal management. However, these studies have focused on singleton pregnancies and largely excluded twin gestations. Recently, an international consensus definition of FGR, as well as a consenus on the essential variables for reporting research studies on FGR, in singleton pregnancies has been published1,2 .
