The accuracy of fetal weight estimation was compared for 33 sonographic models (27 nontargeted and 6 targeted SGA\u2013 or low\u2010birth\u2010weight\u2013specific models) in specific subgroups of SGA fetuses: early versus late SGA, asymmetric versus symmetric, and presence of Doppler abnormalities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A wide variation in the accuracy of the different models was found (systematic error, \u221212.5% to 15.1%; random error, 7.8% to 15.5%). Most nontargeted models tended to systematically overestimate the weight of SGA fetuses. The best performing model in the overall SGA group was the targeted model of Scott et al (<jats:italic>J Ultrasound Med<\/jats:italic> 1996; 15:669\u2013672; systematic error \u00b1 random error, \u22122.8% \u00b1 8.3%). However, the optimal models varied for different subgroups of SGA fetuses, and in most cases the targeted models were the most accurate. An approach that used the optimal model for each subgroup of SGA fetuses compared with the uniform use of the model of Scott et al for all SGA fetuses was associated with a lower systematic error (\u22120.38% versus \u22122.8%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) and a higher proportion of weight estimations within 5%, 10%, and 15% of birth weight (48.4% versus 40.8%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= .038; 78.6% versus 71.4%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= .022; 95.1% versus 89.2%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .003, respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sonographic models in current use for fetal weight estimation in SGA fetuses have significant errors, and their performance varies for specific subgroups of SGA fetuses.
