Quantitative structural studies on human placentas associated with pre-eclampsia, essential hypertension and intrauterine growth retardation
Patricia A. Boyd,A. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: The placentas from pregnancies compli‐cated by pre‐eclampsia and those resulting in a SFD baby had a signifi‐cantly lower total volume, volume of parenchyma and villous surface area when compared with normal pregnancies of comparable gestation.

The relative contributions of different maternal factors in small-for-gestational-age pregnancies.
TL;DR: If the pathological factors of smoking, hypertension and preeclampsia could be prevented, the number of SGA pregnancies in this population would be reduced by about 50%.

Risk factors associated with small-for-dates and large-for-dates infants.
TL;DR: Estimates of attributable risk showed that if pathological factors such as smoking, hypertensive disorders and congenital abnormalities could be completely eliminated the number of SFD babies in this population would be reduced by about 60%; conversely thenumber of LFD babies would be increased by about 30%.

Quantitative structural studies on placentas from pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: The villous surface area was increased in placentas from the diabetic group, the mean value being 17·3 m2 compared with the 11·4 m2 of the normal group, which was larger than would be expected when the increase in fetal weight of some babies born to diabetic mothers is taken into account.

Growth in the first four years: II. Diversity within groups of small-for-dates and large-for-dates babies.
TL;DR: Trajectories of individual SFD and LFD children illustrate the great diversity of growth patterns within and between groups.
