Broere-Brown ZA, et al. - The article is written with the objective to evaluate whether umbilical cord blood placental growth factor (PlGF) levels at delivery are related to fetal growth. Lower umbilical cord PlGF levels are related to lower birth weight, deviating fetal growth patterns, and a higher odds of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Hence, cord blood PlGF might be a promising biomarker to ascertain deviations in fetal growth and FGR retrospectively, enabling follow-up of these neonates.
