متن کاملEstimation of Fetal Weight by Clinical Methods and Ultrasonography and Comparing With Actual Birth Weight
Introduction: Assessment of fetal weight is a vital factor in antenatal care, not only in the management of labor and delivery but also in identifying fetal weight disorders. Objective: This study compares the accuracy of clinical methods and ultrasonography in Estimating Fetal Weight (EFW) with Actual Birth Weight (ABW) in term pregnant women. Materials and Methods: This diagnostic test eval...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Maternal Biosocial Determinants and Infant Birth Weight
