(2) Methods: In a retrospective cohort study of 2156 women with a singleton pregnancy, it is verified whether or not perinatal and maternal morbidity differs between extreme BWs estimated at term by ultrasound within the seven days prior to birth with Accurate EFW (difference &lt; 10% between EFW and BW) and those with Non-Accurate EFW (difference \u2265 10% between EFW and BW). (3) Results: Significantly worse perinatal outcomes (according to different variables such as higher rate of arterial pH at birth &lt; 7.20, higher rate of 1-min Apgar &lt; 7, higher rate of 5-min Apgar &lt; 7, higher grade of neonatal resuscitation and need for admission to the neonatal care unit) were found for extreme BW estimated by antepartum ultrasounds with Non-Accurate EFW compared with those with Accurate EFW. This was the case when extreme BWs were compared according to percentile distribution by sex and gestational age following the national reference growth charts (small for gestational age and large for gestational age), and when they were compared according to weight range (low birth weight and high birth weight). (4) Conclusions: Clinicians should make a greater effort when performing EFW by ultrasound at term in cases of suspected extreme fetal weights, and need to take an increasingly prudent approach to its management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12082995","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T01:33:43Z","timestamp":1682040823000},"page":"2995","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Perinatal and Maternal Outcomes According to the Accurate Term Antepartum Ultrasound Estimation of Extreme Fetal Weights"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6280-9153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Mozas-Moreno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Granada, 18016 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Service, Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital, 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBER Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica-CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Biohealth Research Institute (Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria Ibs.GRANADA), 18014 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1841-0852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariola","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Service, La Inmaculada Hospital, Hu\u00e9rcal-Overa, 04600 Almer\u00eda, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7106-092X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernesto","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Mesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga y Plataforma en Nanomedicina (IBIMA-Plataforma BIONAND), Research Group in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Epigenetics, Women\u2019s Diseases and Reproductive Health, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"},{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Service, Regional University Hospital of Malaga, 29011 Malaga, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Surgical Specialties, Biochemistry and Immunology, University of Malaga, 29071 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0054-6700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"Olmedo-Requena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBER Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica-CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Biohealth Research Institute (Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria Ibs.GRANADA), 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Granada, 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0957-4057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmen","family":"Amezcua-Prieto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBER Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica-CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Biohealth Research Institute (Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria Ibs.GRANADA), 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Granada, 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7917-6145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 J.","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Mole\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBER Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica-CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Biohealth Research Institute (Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria Ibs.GRANADA), 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Granada, 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"552","DOI":"10.1080\/14767050802616986","article-title":"The effect of intrauterine development and nutritional status on perinatal mortality","volume":"22","author":"Joubert","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
