Primary Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |

The primary outcome measure for the dynamic predictive tool will be defined as 'days until delivery'.
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis of early-onset FGR up to delivery data regarding the candidate predictors, summarized under 'Description', will be documented on every day an ultrasound examination is performed.
|
Candidate predictors for the dynamic, predictive tool will be: estimated fetal weight, pulsatility index of the umbilical artery, pulsatility index of the cerebral middle artery, cerebroplacental ratio, pulsatility index of veins ductus venosus, absence of interval growth, repetitive decelerations on CTG, short-term variability, subjective fetal movements, presence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, use of anti-hypertensive drugs, use of magnesium sulphate, number of hypertensive crises, presence of lung edema, progression of organ dysfunction.
