Résumé

Objective To assess which fetal growth charts best describe intrauterine growth in France defined as the ability to classify 10% of fetuses below the 10th percentile (small for gestational age [SGA]) and above the 90th percentile (large for gestational age [LGA]) in the second and third trimesters. Methods We analyzed five studies on fetal ultrasound measurements using three French data sources. Two studies used second and third trimester ultrasound data from a nationwide birth cohort in 2011 (the ELFE study, N = 13 197 and N = 7747); one study used third trimester ultrasound data from on a nationwide cross‐sectional study (the 2016 French National Perinatal Survey, N = 9940); and the last two studies were from the “Flash study” 2014 which prospectively collected ultrasound data from routine visits in the second and third trimesters ( N = 4858 and N = 3522). For each study, we reported the percentage of measurements below the 10th percentile or above the 90th percentile, using French, Hadlock's, WHO and Intergrowth (IG) charts. Results WHO classified 4.7% and 16.3% of fetuses as having an estimated fetal weight (EFW) <10th and >90th percentiles in the second trimester compared to 3.3% and 34.7% with IG. The percentage of fetuses in the third trimester with an EFW <10th and >90th percentiles, ranged from 9.1% to 9.4% and from 8.0% to 11.1%, respectively, for WHO, and from 3.9% to 4.1% and from 17.3% to 21.6%, respectively, for IG. The WHO and IG charts for head circumference were very similar and performed well. Compared to the WHO charts, the French and Hadlock's charts deviated more frequently from the target percentiles values for EFW and biometric measures. Conclusion It is recommended to use the WHO charts for the assessment of EFW and ultrasound biometric measurements in France (strong recommendation; low quality of evidence).
