UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Patient reported menstrual history, physician clinical evaluation, and ultrasonography are used to determine gestational age in the pregnant female. Previous studies have shown that pregnancy dating by last menstrual period (LMP) and physical examination findings can be inaccurate. An ultrasound performed in the radiology department is considered the standard for determ...

introduction: estimation of gestational age is an essential component of prenatal care. gestational age is estimated by last menopausal period, fundal height and ultrasonography. serial measurment of fundal height and comparison with lmp predicts the g.a more accurately. since nowadays, ultrasonography is used more frequently during pregnancy, patients have to bear more expenses. but we can use...

An accurate assessment of gestational age is vital to population-based research and surveillance in maternal and infant health. However, the quality of gestational age measurements derived from birth certificates has been in question. Using the 2002 US public-use natality file, the authors examined the agreement between estimates of gestational age based on the last menstrual period (LMP) and c...

Abstract Background Different formulae have been developed globally to estimate gestational age (GA) by ultrasonography in the first trimester of pregnancy. In this study, we develop an Indian population-specific dating formula and compare its performance with published formulae. Finally, evaluate implications choice method on preterm birth (PTB) rate. This study’s data was from GARBH-Ini, ongo...

Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of the symphysio-fundal height (SFH) in comparison to the last menstrual period (LMP) for gestational age assessment. Study Design: Hospital-based prospective cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Maternity unit of the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria, between December 2012 and April 2013. Original Research Arti...

BACKGROUND Expected date of delivery (EDD) is estimated from the last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound scan. Conflicts between these estimates especially on the part of the physician and his/her patient could pose a challenge to prevention of prolonged pregnancy. The objective of this study was to determine the perception and acceptability of menstrual dating (EDD derived from LMP) with reg...

BACKGROUND Young female subjects are known to have the highest baseline menstrual hormone levels of any female age group. Studies have found an association between hormone levels and wound healing. This has been researched in the orthopedic, gynecologic, and dermatologic literature, and more recently, in young patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty. The purpose of this study was to determ...

background: various uterine disorders lead to infertility in women of reproductive ages. this study was performed to describe common uterine causes of infertility and sonographic evaluation of them for midwives.   methods:to study the literatures, manuscripts published at “pubmed”, “elsevier”, “google scholar”, “sid” and original text books, between 1985 and 2015, were carefully reviewed, using...

This study was done to determine the accuracy of fetal ultrasound (U.S.) predicting the estimated date of delivery (EDD) in a primarily Afro-Caribbean population in Antigua and Barbuda. A total of 206 women had retrospective review offetal ultrasound tests done between July 1994 and January 1996. The EDD based on last menstrual period (LMP) was calculated for 104 women with dates and compared w...
