Objective To compare the performance of mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and body mass index (BMI) for prediction of small for gestational age (SGA) in Zambia. Methods This is a secondary analysis of an ongoing clinical cohort that included women with a single gestation and MUAC measured before 24 weeks of pregnancy. We assessed relationships between maternal MUAC and birth weight centile using regression. The performance of MUAC and BMI to predict SGA was compared using receiver operating characteristic curves and the effect of maternal HIV was investigated in sub‐group analyses. Results Of 1117 participants, 847 (75%) were HIV‐negative (HIV−) and 270 (24%) were HIV‐positive (HIV+). Seventy‐four (7%) delivered severe SGA infants ( |
