use · D6 - S1
Large for gestational age (LGA) is a term used to describe infants that are born with an abnormally high weight, specifically in the 90th percentile or above, compared to other babies of the same developmental age.

identify · D6 - S4
Evaluating an infant for macrosomia or LGA can help identify risks associated with their birth, including labor complications of both the parent and the child, potential long-term health complications of the child, and infant mortality.

present · D6 - S5
Fetal macrosomia and LGA often do not present with noticeable patient symptoms.
lead · D6 - S13
LGA or macrosomic births can lead to complications for both the mother and the infant.
include · D6 - S14
Common risks in LGA babies include shoulder dystocia, low levels of blood sugar, brachial plexus injuries, metatarsus adductus, hip subluxation and talipes calcaneovalgus, due to intrauterine deformation.
occur · D6 - S20
Although larger babies are at higher risk for shoulder dystocia, most cases of shoulder dystocia happen in smaller babies because there are many more small and normal-size babies being born than large babies.

have · D6 - S21
LGA babies are at higher risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in the neonatal period, independent of whether the mother has diabetes.
recommend · D6 - S31
Obesity before pregnancy and maternal weight gain above recommended guidelines during pregnancy are other key risk factors for macrosomia or LGA infants.
demonstrate · D6 - S32
It has been demonstrated that while maternal obesity and gestational diabetes are independent risk factors for LGA and macrosomia, they can act synergistically, with even higher risk of macrosomia when both are present.

Genetics can also play a role in having an LGA baby, and it is seen that taller, heavier parents tend to have larger babies.

Multiparity: giving birth to previous LGA infants vs. non-LGA infants
diagnose · D6 - S50
While ultrasound has been the primary method for diagnosing LGA, this form of fetal weight assessment remains imprecise, as the fetus is a highly variable structure in regards to density and weight— no matter the gestational age.

However, as this method relies heavily on practitioner experience and technique, it does not provide an accurate and definite diagnosis of an LGA infant and would only serve as a potential indication of suspected macrosomia.
