P216: Placental insufficiency is associated with reduced head circumference and femur length

Fetal biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length. A comparison by race and sex.

Biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) were compared by race and sex in 5,405 ultrasound examinations done on 2,831 women. Black fetuses had significantly longer FL than white fetuses; male fetuses had larger BPD, HC and AC than females. The differences in BPD, HC and AC correlated with the different birth weights observed between ...

In utero Head Circumference is Associated with Childhood Allergy

BACKGROUND Altered fetal growth is known to be associated with allergic disease. Specifically, increased head circumference at birth has been linked to asthma and elevated IgE. However, few studies have examined a link between early fetal anthropometry and allergic disease. The aim of this study was to examine head circumference at mid-gestation in children diagnosed with allergy. METHODS Thi...
