title: [Fetal growth retardation is difficult to detect. Quality criteria for obstetric care are not functioning in the clinical practice].
abstract: In a study of the practical efficacy of quality criteria for obstetric care, it was found that fetal growth disorders are difficult to detect, even when growth retardation is suspected. Examination of the quality indicator, unrecognised SGA (small for gestational age), showed barely half the cases of subnormal gestational age-related birthweight.
