Thanks for sending me this article for review.The author has worked hard and have covered alomst all important points relevant to the topic.The first thing i would like to point out is about the precentage of constitutionally small for gestation fetuses and the reference mentionedd in this regard.I think this percentage must be like 50-60 %.secondly in introduction and studies the MCA and DV were supposed to be discussed if they are going to be included in disucssion and conclusion.
In objectives/introduction of study the high percentage of constitutionally small fetuses was supposed to be discussed in discussion in cinclusion but we dont find much about this.
As a whole my impression is that the paper contains lot of information gathered from the literature with good references,it is an excellent effort from the author but it lacks in few technical issues and this smaple volume for such studies is very low.

Thanks a lot for sending me to review this article. The author reviewed 12 controlled studies for intrauterine growth restriction. She evaluated different parameters to reach the conclusion which parameter should be used and the most accurate parameter for diagnosis of hypoxemic hypoxia. I do agree for publication of the present review article. Only one thing I would ask the author to start the introduction with Small for gestational age (SGA) instead of starting directly with the abbreviation.

Thank you very much for sending this article for review. It is a good effort.
The Introduction needs to be more brief. Also aviod listing in the introduction.
In the discussion section in some places there is a mention of the studies in the text but no reference given. For example in the paragraph about post natal follow up studies there is no reference given. Similarly, in the last para it says there is mention of studies and their results without the reference to it.
The references are very old, considering that there is a lot of work done in this area in the last five to ten years and therefore need more reecent references. Also since this is a review artciles it needs lot more refenreces and rather than vague be more precise in terms of the conclusions drawn from it.
