- Abstract
This article discusses a study that examined the external validity of a new prediction model for small for gestational age (SGA) in an Asian population. The study used the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) competing risk model, which combines maternal characteristics and medical history with measurements of mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI), and serum placental growth factor (PlGF) to predict SGA. The study found that the predictive performance of the model for SGA in the Asian population was similar to that reported in the original FMF study on a mixed European population. The article also mentions that the prophylactic use of aspirin did not have a significant effect on the incidence of SGA. Overall, the study suggests that the FMF SGA prediction model can be implemented as part of routine prenatal care for Asian women.
