When is birthweight at term abnormally low?: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association and predictive ability of current birthweight standards for neonatal outcomes. BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 121(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/1471-0528.12517

Background
Intrauterine growth restriction is a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. A variety of definitions of low birthweight are used in clinical practice, with a lack of consensus regarding which definitions best predict adverse outcomes....
