Abstract

ISUOG Practice Guidelines: diagnosis and management of small-for-gestational-age fetus and fetal growth restriction Clinical Standards CommitteeThe International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is a scientific organization that encourages sound clinical practice, and high-quality teaching and research related to diagnostic imaging in women's healthcare.The ISUOG Clinical Standards Committee (CSC) has a remit to develop Practice Guidelines and Consensus Statements as educational recommendations that provide healthcare practitioners with a consensus-based approach, from experts, for diagnostic imaging.They are intended to reflect what is considered by ISUOG to be the best practice at the time at which they are issued.Although ISUOG has made every effort to ensure that Guidelines are accurate when issued, neither the Society nor any of its employees or members accepts any liability for the consequences of any inaccurate or misleading data, opinions or statements issued by the CSC.The ISUOG CSC documents are not intended to establish a legal standard of care, because interpretation of the evidence that underpins the Guidelines may be influenced by individual circumstances, local protocol and available resources.Approved Guidelines can be distributed freely with the permission of ISUOG (info@isuog.org).

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Current screening methods have limited sensitivity, as subtle placental dysfunctions may not be apparent until late gestation when growth deviation or abnormal Doppler findings occur.

    “However, current screening methods have limited sensitivity, as subtle placental dysfunctions may not be apparent until late gestation when growth deviation or abnormal Doppler findings occur.5,6,11”

    From Early detection of severe fetal growth restriction using multimodal deep learning based on ultrasound and prenatal biomarkers (2026) · cites this paper as [5]

    The ‘What is not known and implications for research’ section (page unavailable) describes a possible preclinical phase that Doppler measures may fail to detect. The ‘Late-onset fetal growth restriction’ section (page unavailable) says umbilical-artery Doppler abnormalities are rare and miss most late-FGR cases. These passages support limited detection of subtle dysfunction, but do not establish that it generally becomes apparent only in late gestation through growth deviation or abnormal Doppler findings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
