High-Yield Explanation
A neonate whose weight falls between the 10th and 90th percentile is considered as appropriate for gestational age (AGA); if the weight falls below 10th percentile, the neonate is classified as small for gestational age (SGA); the neonate is classified as large for gestational age (LGA), if the weight falls at 90th percentile or above for gestational age.
