This prospective observational study aimed to compare the changes in placental vascular indices and placental volume using three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) ultrasound in pregnancies with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates. We enrolled 396 women with singleton pregnancies from September 2013 to June 2016. Placental vascular indices, including the vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI), and placental volume were obtained using 3DPD ultrasound in the first and second trimesters. Of the enrolled women, 21 delivered SGA neonates and 375 did not. In the first trimester, the SGA group had a significantly lower mean FI (25.10 ± 7.51 versus 33.10 ± 10.97, p &lt; 0.001) and VFI (4.59 ± 1.95 versus 6.28 ± 2.35, p = 0.001) than the non-SGA group. However, there was no significant difference in the placental volume between the two groups during the first trimester. In the second trimester, the SGA group also had a significantly lower mean FI (27.08 ± 7.97 versus 31.54 ± 11.01, p = 0.022) and VFI (6.68 ± 1.71 versus 8.68 ± 3.09, p &lt; 0.001) than the non-SGA group. In addition, a significantly smaller placental volume was noted in the SGA group (104.80 ± 24.23 cm 3 versus 122.67 ± 26.35 cm 3 , p = 0.003) than in the non-SGA group during the second trimester. The results showed that a decreased placental VFI occurred earlier than a decreased placental volume in SGA pregnancies.
