Abstrakt:	We used two SGA definitions: birthweight <10th percentile and <-2 standard deviations.4 We identified 37 257 preterm births before 37 weeks of GA. Abbreviations FGR foetal growth restriction GA gestational age SGA small for gestational age Foetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major risk factor for infant mortality and morbidity and adverse lifelong developmental, mental and physical health outcomes.1 It is usually studied using small for gestational age (SGA), which is most commonly defined as a weight under the 10th percentile based on growth charts. There were 26 891 once we had excluded births <24 weeks, multiple births, missing birthweights or GA and discordant birthweights for GA (<300 g or I Z i -score <-6 or >4 standard deviations).
