Analysis of the effectiveness of ultrasound and clinical examination methods in fetal weight estimation for term pregnancies
OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of clinical and ultrasonographic (USG) estimation of fetal weight in non-complicated, term pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred term pregnant women were included in the study. We used three formulae for the estimation of fetal weight at term; the Hadlock formula for the USG method, and two different formulas for clinical methods, maternal symphysis-...
متن کاملSonographic estimation of fetal weight in term pregnant women
Introduction: Deviation from normal fetal weight and growth contribute to morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period. Over 50 formulas for EFW (estimated fetal weight) have been published and yet the ideal formula has not been determined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of sonographic estimation of fetal weight using Hadlock formula in comparison to birth weight....
متن کاملEstimation of fetal weight by ultrasonic examination.
PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the accuracy and clinical application of a new technique in the fetal weight estimation by ultrasound. METHODS The fetal biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC) and femur length (FL) were measured by ultrasound examination within one week before delivery. Two different fetal abdominal sectors were measured for the assessment of abdominal circumfer...
متن کاملA simple clinical formula for predicting fetal weight in labour at term--derivation and validation.
OBJECTIVES To derive and validate a simple formula for birth weight based on symphysis-fundal height (SFH) measurement during labour, and to determine a useful SFH cut-off value for prediction of birth weight > or = 4000 g. METHODS In a derivation study, SFH was measured in women at term in the active phase of labour. A simplified formula for birth weight was derived from a regression equatio...
