متن کاملCalf circumference as a predictor of low birth weight babies.
To identify an inexpensive, reliable predictor of low birth weight capable of being utilized by untrained personnel, anthropometric measures were performed on 1600 newborns in Kanpur, India. This analysis indicated that, for a birth weight of 2500 g, the critical limit of calf circumference was 10.8 cm or less. Critical limits for crown-heel length, head circumference, chest circumference, mi...
