Customized birth weight: coefficients and validation of models in a UK population.

چکیده
OBJECTIVES To produce a customized birth weight model in a UK population. METHODS This was a population-based, multiethnic, retrospective cohort study of 42,583 women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies resulting in a live birth at 37-42 weeks of gestation between 1997 and 2005. Multivariate analysis was undertaken and a double cross-over approach was employed to validate the models estimating customized birth weight. RESULTS Coefficients confirmed the findings of previous studies, indicating that birth weight was strongly influenced by maternal ethnicity, age, parity, body mass index, smoking, fetal gender and gestational age at delivery. CONCLUSIONS We have derived models to determine customized or predicted birth weight in a UK population that are both robust and reproducible.

The aim of this study was to estimate amount of inbreeding coefficient in Shal sheep and its impact on growth performance. Pedigree information and body weight at different ages (birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 month weight) were used from 6692 lambs from 90 rams and 1007 ewes. Data were collected on Ghazvin sheep breeding station during 1997-2013. Estimation...

متن کاملCustomized growth charts for twin gestations to optimize identification of small-for-gestational age fetuses at risk of intrauterine fetal death.
OBJECTIVE Customized growth charts developed for singleton pregnancies have been shown to be more effective than population-based ones at identifying small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses at risk for intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). We sought to compare the association between SGA and IUFD in twins using customized growth charts designed for twin gestations compared to those designed for sing...

The aim of the current study was to assessing the effect of inbreeding on growth-related traits including birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and average daily gain (ADG) as well as efficiency-related traits such as Kleiber ratio (KR) and relative growth rate (RGR) of Moghani sheep. To this end, after editing data and preparing pedigree file, coefficients of inbreeding were estimated an...
متن کاملCustomized versus population-based birth weight charts for the detection of neonatal growth and perinatal morbidity in a cross-sectional study of term neonates.
Customized birth weight charts that incorporate maternal characteristics are now being adopted into clinical practice. However, there is controversy surrounding the value of these charts in the prediction of growth and perinatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the use of customized charts in predicting growth, defined by body fat percentage, and perinatal morbidity. A total ...
