  • *AGA versus SGA.

  • †AGA versus FGR.

  • ‡SGA versus FGR.

  • AGA, adequate for gestational age; CPR, cerebroplacental ratio; FGR, fetal growth restriction; MCA-PI, middle cerebral artery pulsatility index; SGA, small for gestational age; UA-EDV, umbilical artery end-diastolic velocity; UA-MDV, umbilical artery mean diastolic velocity; UA-PI, umbilical artery pulsatility index; UA-PSV, umbilical artery peak systolic velocity; UA-TAMXV, umbilical artery time-averaged maximum velocity.
