Generation of a malaria negative Ugandan birth weight standard for the diagnosis of small for gestational age.

Generation of a malaria negative Ugandan birth weight standard for the diagnosis of small for gestational age.

<h4>Objective</h4>Placental malaria is a known risk factor for small for gestational age (SGA) neonates. However, currently utilized international and African birthweight standards have not controlled for placental malaria and/or lack obstetrical ultrasound dating. We developed a neonata...
