Association of placental morphology and fetal birth weight

Background: The placenta plays a crucial role in sustaining pregnancy and supporting healthy foetal growth function. Placental morphology predicts illness patterns adults development. Birth weight is significant predictor of child's survival, development, growth. connection between birth perinatal outcome has long been understood obstetrics. As generally known, low known risk factor for the long-term health. aim study was to find any association weight, gender placental morphology. Methods: An analytical cross sectional conducted anatomy department Anatomy, Bhaarath Medical college Hospital, Chennai. Placentae 200 were collected. Morphological analysis including number cotyledons, site umbilical cord insertion fetal maternal surface area, measured normal babies. Results: showed positive with gestational age. greater values men positively significantly correlated parameters (p 0.001). Regression models employing newborn's sex morphometry used estimate weight; (R2=0.461), area (R2=0.411), volume (R2=0.456) calculated.
