The study plan goes beyond finding a single metric or rule aiming to describe the risk of Small-for-Gestational Age (SGA) in all women plan to use clustering with factor-selection on the various available data-sets.

At the individual level, an identification of possible causal factors behind the prediction of SGA, which will aid the clinician in determining the appropriate intervention
