BLWR, brain to liver weight ratio; FGR, fetal growth restriction; FN, false negative; FP, false positive; TN, true negative; TP, true positive.

*Excludes central nervous system conditions or chromosomal anomalies.

Defined using weight for gestational age <10th percentile or discordant birth weight/length.

Optimal BLWR threshold for classifying FGR based on Youden's index.
