P01.06: Whole‐genome sequencing of cell‐free fetal DNA exhibits predictive value for fetal macrosomia

Intrapartum fetal abdominal circumference by ultrasonography for predicting fetal macrosomia.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of sonographic measurement of fetal abdominal circumference (AC) for the prediction of fetal macrosomia. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective clinical trial was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. The study consisted of 361 singleton pregnant women who were admitted for deliv...

Ultrasound diagnosis of fetal macrosomia.

Macrosomic infants and their mothers are at increased risk for intrapartum injury and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the effectiveness of individual ultrasound fetal measurements, ponderal indices and estimated fetal weight in the identification of macrosomia in 732 pregnant patients who underwent ultrasound examination within 7 days of delivery. All the indices eval...

Prenatal detection and consequences of fetal macrosomia.

Macrosomia is diagnosed when excessive intrauterine fetal growth occurs and the birth weight surpasses an established limit. The causes and risk factors for fetal macrosomia are diverse. Pregnancies with fetal macrosomia are considered high risk and require intensive antenatal care. Prenatal ultrasound appears to be the best method for performing weight estimates before birth, as the correct bi...

Sonographic prediction of fetal macrosomia: The relationship between estimated fetal weight and mode of delivery

Methods This is a retrospective cohort study carried out at the Orenburg Municipal Perinatal Center and Maternity Hospital No 2 from 2006 to 2012. In this study 3760 pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. The estimated fetal sonographic weight by Hadlock’s formula was obtained within the last week prior to delivery. The study population was divided into 4 groups (true positive, true negative, false ...
