OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to describe utilization and impact of sonographic growth assessment in pregnancies with low @entity15714 . METHODS: Singleton pregnancies with @entity15714    5th%ile and no other risk factors for fetal growth restriction from January, 2011- June, 2013 were included. Antepartum and delivery data were obtained by reviewing medical records. Outcomes of pregnancies referred for sonographic growth assessment were compared with those not referred for ultrasound. Fisher's exact test, chi-square analysis, and Mann-Whitney U were used for statistical comparison. RESULTS: 295 @entity1 were included. Of 285 pregnancies reaching the third trimester, 77.5% were referred for ultrasound, with the initial scan at a median gestational age of 28   weeks [26-29]. Referral for growth scans was associated with earlier gestational age at delivery, and higher rates of delivery for fetal indications. Those who did not undergo growth scans were more likely to deliver an SGA @entity1 at term, 20.7% vs. 35.0% (p   =   .04). There was one third-trimester fetal demise, occurring in a @entity1 who had been undergoing growth scans. CONCLUSION: Growth scans in those with low @entity15714 were associated with delivery at earlier gestational age, with higher rates of delivery for fetal indications and lower rates of SGA newborns at term. No significant differences in neonatal outcomes were observed.
