title: Clinical strategies for improving the detection of fetal growth restriction.
abstract: The single most important condition affecting the viable fetus is intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). IUGR is a common condition, affecting about 10% to 15% of the general maternity population. Despite its importance and relatively high prevalence, IUGR detection is poor. This article will focus on how to improve on IUGR detection.
