The sensitivity and specificity for detecting these infants with an EFW &lt;10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and &gt;90<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;percentile varied from 29%-65% and 84%-96% for descriptive charts versus 27%-60% and 83%-96% for prescriptive charts. WHO and French charts were closest to the EFW distribution, yielding a balance between sensitivity and specificity for SGA and LGA births. INTERGROWTH-21<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;and Epop\u00e9 had low sensitivity for SGA with high sensitivity for LGA. Areas under the receiving operator characteristics curve ranged from 0.62 to 0.74, showing low to moderate predictive ability, whereas diagnostic odds ratios varied from 7 to 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:&nbsp;<\/strong>Marked differences in the performance of descriptive as well as prescriptive EFW charts highlight the importance of evaluating them for their ability to detect high-risk fetuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BJOG. 2021 Nov 19. doi: 10.1111\/1471-0528.17021.
