FAME Trial Summary

This trial is comparing outcomes of pregnancies with fetal growth restriction managed with different ultrasound guidelines.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals with a diagnosis of Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR), identified through ultrasound, where the estimated fetal weight or abdominal circumference is below the 10th percentile. It's not open to those expecting multiples with FGR.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two sets of guidelines for managing FGR during pregnancy: one by ISUOG and another by SMFM. The focus is on how each affects newborn health outcomes, cesarean delivery rates, NICU admissions, and maternal health.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive ultrasounds following different guidelines rather than medication or surgery, there are no direct side effects associated with the interventions being tested.
