Confirmation of gestational age by external physical characteristics (total maturity score).
The use of the total maturity score (TMS) as a means of estimating gestational age was assessed in a population of 76 low birthweight infants (less than or equal to 2500 g) and 80 matched controls (greater than 2500 g) all of certain gestational ages. The gestational ages, derived from the last menstrual period and from the TMS, were similar except in preterm low birthweight infants. The discre...
متن کاملComparison of New Ballards score and Parkins score for gestational age estimation.
This prospective analytical study was done to compare the accuracy of New Ballards score (NBS) and Parkins score (PS) in assessing the gestational age (GA) in newborns. The GA of 284 babies was assessed by the NBS and PS within 24 hours of birth. The two methods of assessment were compared using the Bland Altmann Plot. The mean difference between the two measurements was 1.530576. 95% of the va...
متن کاملUsing measurable physical characteristics to forecast beef heifer maturity: the identification of a maturity index.
A target BW is often used to estimate sexual maturity in beef heifers. The target BW, a percentage of mature BW, is generally an average for the breed, herd, or both. Heifer development is done in groups or herds, and not all heifers respond similarly to the same development regimen. Generally, heifers fed at a higher plane of nutrition gain more BW and tend to have increased pregnancy rates, b...
متن کاملTotal energy expenditure in small for gestational age infants.
OBJECTIVE To measure total energy expenditure and body composition in small for gestational age (SGA) infants, to investigate hypermetabolism. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in 52 small for gestational age (SGA) measured at 5 weeks of age, using existing data from appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants as controls. The doubly-labelled water technique was used to assess b...
متن کاملAssessment of gestational age by neurological examination.
In recent years there has been rapidly increasing interest in babies whose birthweight is low because their intrauterine growth has been retarded, and it has been recognized that the clinical problems of these 'small-for-dates' babies differ from those of true prematures. They rarely die from respiratory distress syndrome or intraventricular haemorrhage, but are particularly susceptible to symp...
