Electronic medical records were utilized to extract information and antenatal care records. The cut-off value of UA was 360\u00a0\u03bcmol\/L. The outcome was LBW\/SGA, with LBW defined as birth weight below 2500\u00a0g and SGA indicating birth weight below the 10th percentile of average weight for gestational age. The assessment of SGA was based on the Chinese standard curve for birth weight at various gestational ages. Univariate, multivariate logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline were used in this study, with adjustments made for confounding factors.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Sixty-nine thousand six hundred seventy-four live births and singleton pregnancies were included. The ratio of LBW\/SGA was 3.3%\/9%. Maternal UA levels were significantly negatively correlated with birth weight. High UA levels were associated with high risk of LBW\/SGA, especially in third trimester. In BMI<jats:bold>\u2009&lt;\u2009<\/jats:bold>25 group, the risk of LBW increased to 2.35-fold (95%CI, 1.66\u20133.31) in hyperuricemic group (UA<jats:bold>\u2009&gt;\u2009<\/jats:bold>360\u00a0\u03bcmol\/L). The SGA risk was 1.66-fold (95%CI, 1.37\u20132.00). Gestational hypertension (GH) with hyperuricemica increased the risk of LBW (aOR\u2009=\u20094.00, 95%CI, 2.01\u20137.93) and SGA (aOR\u2009=\u20092.63, 95%CI, 1.83\u20133.78). Preeclampsia (PE) with hyperuricemia increased the risk of LBW (aOR\u2009=\u20091.38, 95%CI, 0.63\u20133.03) and SGA (aOR\u2009=\u20091.81, 95%CI, 1.18\u20132.78).
