All singleton large\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age neonates born during this period were included. The cohort was divided into two groups: neonates for whom fetal weight was estimated on late third trimester (&lt;14\u2009days before delivery) sonography and neonates with no recent fetal weight estimation. The groups were compared for pregnancy management strategies, rates of labor induction, cesarean deliveries, and maternal and neonatal outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 1712 neonates were included in the study, among whom 791 (46.2%) had a late third\u2010trimester fetal weight estimation (study group) and 921 (53.8%) did not (control group).
