• We studied a cohort of 1890 fetuses. • The AC growth velocity, defined as the AC difference in centimeters between 28 and 36 weeks scans divided by the interval in days between the two ultrasound examinations, was calculated. • The SGA fetuses were defined as birthweight < 5th percentile. • A composite APO was defined as one of the following: – emergency C-section, – umbilical artery pH < 7.10 – 5 min Apgar score < 7 – admission to NICU – perinatal death.
