| Abstract |
Maternal obesity represents a challenge in the sonographic (US) assessment of fetal weight, and is a recognized risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcome. The objective of this secondary analysis of data from the Prospective Observational Trial to Optimize Pediatric Health in fetal growth restriction (FGR) Study (PORTO) was to describe the effect of maternal obesity on the accuracy of US in determining the estimated fetal weight (EFW) and the perinatal outcome of pregnancies affected by FGR. Between 2010 and 2012, 1,116 women with nonanomalous singleton pregnancies with an EFW in less than the tenth centile were recruited for the PORTO study. Maternal body mass index (BMI) was divided into five subcategories: normal (BMI < 24.9 kg/m(2) ), overweight (25-29.9), obese class 1 (30-34.9), obese class 2 (35-39.9), and obese class 3 (>40). The accuracy of the EFW was determined in women who delivered within 2 weeks of their last US scan. Perinatal outcomes were analyzed by BMI subcategory. Of the 1,074 patients with complete records, 691 (64%) were of normal weight, 258 (24%) were overweight, 93 (9%) were in obese class 1, 32 (3%) were in obese class 2, and none were in obese class 3. Overall, the EFW determined prior to delivery was within 6% of the actual birth weight in all BMI subcategories. Overweight and obese women delivered more commonly by cesarean section and at earlier gestational ages than did women with a normal BMI (p = 0.0008), resulting in lower birth weights (p = 0.0031) and significantly increased composite perinatal morbidity (p < 0.0001) and mortality (p = 0.0215) rates. US examination is reliable for assessing the weight of fetuses with FGR in overweight women. Maternal obesity, however, has a significant adverse effect on perinatal outcomes. Thus, health education should focus on awareness of this adverse effect, with optimization of prepregnancy weight as its main goal. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2015. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 December 2015.
All research outputs
#2,375,148
of 24,565,648 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Clinical Ultrasound
#34
of 885 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,916
of 267,686 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Clinical Ultrasound
#5
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,565,648 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 885 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 267,686 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
