Mortality rates are highest for
preterm SGA and preterm AGA infants
Mortality rates are lowest for
for term AGA infants
Symmetrical SGA (Weight, length and HC all < P10) causes
Chromosomal abnormality

Placental insufficiency
The prognosis for normal growth and development is better in asymmetric or symmetric SGA infants.
