Abstract
The definition of a newborn SGA changes depending on which parameter is taken as reference. For the neonatologists who are the first to take care of these newborns the most used parameter in the past has been the weight that should be below the 10 centile for the reference standards. In the last years paediatric endocrinologists are more and more interested in the length of these newborns, a parameter more accurate to growth. This paper presents the last consensus statements regarding the definition of SGA newborns taken into consideration the length, the weight, both or them and even the head circumference.
