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.
