| Number of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates/10,000 births according to pooled estimates of previous studies [19, 22, 32, 33] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| By population reference only | By both population reference and customised standards (primary outcome) | By customised standards only | ||
