Adverse outcomes by subcategories are shown in Table 1
Although the rates of stillbirths did not differ substantially between the sub-categories, statistically significant difference was noted for neonatal mortality. The FGR group had significantly high rate of early neonatal deaths (relative risk (RR) = 15.75, 95% CI :3.56 - 69.58; P<0.05) and deaths greater than one week ( RR= 9.45; 95% CI : CI -2.57 - 34.74; P<0.05).
The composite neonatal morbidity was also markedly higher in the FGR and SGA groups compared to the AGA group. There was one incident of neonatal seizures, and one maternal death, secondary to complications of postpartum haemorrhage.
Our adverse outcomes were mainly confined to those patients with abnormal third trimester ultrasounds.
