Association of adverse neonatal outcomes with their positive and negative predictive values for the INTERGROWTH and WHO criteria. GROW: gestation related optimum weight; NICU: neonatal intensive care unit; WHO: world health organisation. Composite outcome: birth injury, neonatal hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia, respiratory distress syndrome, or neonatal intensive care admission; sen: sensitivity; spe: specificity; ppv: positive predictive value; npv: negative predictive value
