Abstract
Results: sFGR was diagnosed at 26 (18-34) weeks of gestation, and the gestational age at delivery was 31 (25-36) weeks. The overall DQ scores of children in the sFGR group were significantly lower than those in the AGA group (80 vs. 90.5, P = 0.0127). Of the three areas that comprise the DQ (Postural-Motor, Cognitive-Adaptive, and Language-Social), the sFGR group only showed significantly lower DQ scores (72.5 vs. 88, P = 0.0255) in the Language-Social area. Both fetal body weight and fetal body weight Z score at birth significantly correlated with the DQ scores (r = 0.4912, P = 0.0108, and r = 0.5621, P = 0.0028), whereas neither the duration of fetal growth arrest nor the gestational age at birth correlated with the DQ scores (r = 0.3598, P = 0.0842, and r = 0.3522, P = 0.0776).
