Abstract

Objective: making those participating in pregnant women's health care aware of the latest clinical recommendations regarding a controversial topic which is an important cause of perinatal morbidity in Colombia. Methodology: the Cochrane Library, Medline and Embase databases were searched as well asSciELO Latin-American database, specialised books and consensus from other scientific societies for diagnostic studies, systematic reviews, randomised trials and meta-analysis carried out between 1995-2009 regarding the terms "intrauterine growth restriction" and "small for gestational age" . An initial manuscript was written and submitted for on-line discussion. The final manuscript was discussed and amended in Medellín, Colombia, during the Foetal Medicine Congress held in September 2008. Results: a guide to managing SGA and IUGR foetuses was written and is presented here; it has been based on the best available evidence and could be applied in Colombia. Conclusions: this issue produces controversy due to a lack of scientific evidence for applying some definitions and diagnostic tests when managing IUGR and SGA foetuses.
