The effect of birth weight percentile on adverse neonatal morbidity in term uncomplicated pregnancies

Aim: The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of birth weight percentile on adverse neonatal morbidity in termuncomplicated pregnancies.Material and Methods: This retrospective analysis comprised 7,817 pregnant women with uncomplicated pregnancies and singledeliveries at term. The babies were divided into groups according to birth weight percentiles as follows: (1) Small for gestational age(SGA) (
