The whole SGA group was divided into the FGR subgroup or SGA percentile 3\u201310 subgroup.\u200aThe following Doppler measurements were evaluated prospectively: umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI), middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI, cerebro-placental ratio (CPR), and mean uterine artery (mUtA) PI. APO was defined as arterial cord blood pH \u2264\u200a7.15 and\/or 5-minute Apgar \u2264\u200a7 and\/or emergency operative delivery and\/or admission to the neonatal unit. Induction of labor was indicated according to a stage-based protocol.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2002A total of 149 SGA and 143 control fetuses were included. The number of operative deliveries was similar between both groups (control: 29\u200a%, SGA: 28\u200a%), especially the cesarean delivery rate after the onset of labor (11\u200a% vs. 10\u200a%). Most SGA cases ended up in induction of labor (61\u200a% vs. 31\u200a%, p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.001). The areas under the curve (AUC) for APO prediction were similar using the last UA PI, MCA PI, CPR, and mUtA PI and barely reached 0.60. The AUC was best for the FGR subgroup, using the minimal CPR or maximum mUtA PI z-score of all longitudinal measurements (AUC\u200a=\u200a0.63).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2002SGA fetuses do not have a higher rate of operative delivery if managed according to a risk stratification protocol.
