Evaluation of HALP Score in Distinction Between FGR and SGA

Turkey (Türkiye)400 participantsStarted 2023-02-22

Plain-language summary

Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and Small for Gestational Age (SGA) are two conditions that can happen when a baby doesn't grow as much as expected during pregnancy. FGR is caused by things like problems with the mother's nutrition and inflammation, while SGA is usually because of genetic and other factors. It's important to know if a baby has FGR or SGA because FGR babies can have more health problems and are at risk of dying before or shortly after birth. SGA babies are usually healthy, but they might have more health problems later in life. Doctors can use a simple blood test called the HALP score to see if a mother has problems with her nutrition and inflammation. However, it hasn't been studied for FGR and SGA. We want to study if the HALP score can help us tell if a baby has FGR or SGA by looking at the mother's blood test results.
