TL;DR: There is no evidence that induction of late fetal growth restriction at term improves perinatal outcomes nor is it a cost‐effective strategy, and it may increase neonatal admission when performed <38 weeks.

TL;DR: In most placentas of term SGA neonates with normal UA Doppler histological abnormalities secondary to maternal underperfusion prevail, reflecting latent insufficiency in uteroplacental blood supply, this is consistent with the higher risk of adverse perinatal outcome reported in this population and underscores a need for new markers of placental disease.

TL;DR: To elucidate the association between Doppler parameters and histological signs of placental underperfusion in late‐onset small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) babies, a large number of animals were studied.

TL;DR: Diminished circulating levels of placental growth factor, determined upon discovery of SGA status, are associated with histologic evidence of PUP, suggesting angiogenic factors may be pivotal identifying SGA neonates.

TL;DR: The value of Doppler surveillance with maternal blood angiogenic factors at diagnosis for the prediction of adverse outcome in late‐pregnancy small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) fetuses is compared.
