Timeframe: At the time of birth

Population: Analysis population included all infants born in Denmark and Sweden from May 1, 2007 through December 31, 2012.

An infant was defined as SGA if birth weight was below the 10th percentile of its sex-specific national distribution at the respective gestational week. Data on birth weight and gestational age from the medical birth registries were used to calculate the 10th percentiles for each sex based on all Danish and Swedish births during the study observation period.
