J., Caradeux E., Eixarch E., Mazarico T.R., Basuki E., Gratacós F., Figueras Supplementary Material for: Second- to Third-Trimester Longitudinal Growth Assessment for the Prediction of Largeness for Gestational Age and Macrosomia in an Unselected Population <p><b><i>Background:</i></b> Prenatal detection of excessive growth remains inaccurate. Most strategies rely on a single cross-sectional evaluation of fetal size during the third trimester. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To compare second- to third-trimester longitudinal growth assessment with cross-sectional evaluation at the third trimester in the prediction of largeness for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cohort of 2,696 unselected singleton pregnancies scanned at 21 ± 2 and 32 ± 2 weeks was created. Abdominal circumference (AC) measurements were transformed to <i>z</i> values according to the INTERGROWTH-21st standards. Longitudinal growth assessment was performed by calculation of <i>z</i> velocity and conditional growth. Both methods were compared to cross-sectional assessment at 32 ± 2 weeks. Predictive performance for LGA and macrosomia was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. <b><i>Result:</i></b> A total of 188 (7%) newborns qualified for LGA and 182 (6.8%) for macrosomia. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for 32-week AC <i>z</i> score, AC <i>z</i> velocity, and conditional AC were 0.78, 0.61, and 0.55, respectively, for the prediction of LGA, and 0.75, 0.61, and 0.55, respectively, for the prediction of macrosomia. Both AUCs of AC <i>z</i> velocity and conditional AC were significantly lower (<i>p</i> < 0.001) than the AUC of cross-sectional AC <i>z</i> scores. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In the general population, second- to third-trimester longitudinal assessment of fetal growth is inferior to third-trimester cross-sectional evaluation of size in the prediction of LGA and macrosomia.</p> Fetal growth;Ultrasound;Longitudinal growth;Macrosomia;Largeness for gestational age 2017-07-18
