It is well established that correct antenatal identification of small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) fetuses reduces their risk of adverse perinatal outcome with long‐term consequences. Ultrasound estimates of fetal weight (EFWus) are the ultimate tool for this identification. It can be conducted as a “universal screening”, that is, all pregnant women at a specific gestational age. However, in Denmark it is conducted as “selective screening”, that is, only on clinical indication. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the Danish national SGA screening program and the consequences of false‐positive and false‐negative SGA cases.
