Variability of abdominal circumference of premature infants

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1990
Serial measurements of abdominal circumference were made in 27 premature infants 1 hour before feeding, immediately before and after feeding, and 1 and 2 hours after feeding. In some infants these measurements were repeated for 2 (n = 18) or 3 (n = 3) consecutive days.

Head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio, ponderal index and fetal malnutrition. Should head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio be abandoned?

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1991
Summary. Head circumference/abdominal circumference (HC/AC) ratios of the fetus are accepted as a means of distinguishing different patterns of growth retardation with a high ratio implying malnutrition of the fetus. Ponderal index (birthweight/length3) is used by paediatricians as a measure of neonatal wasting and would therefore be expected to ...

Effect of Peritoneal Dialysis on Abdominal Circumference

Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2010
Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is probably underused because of fears concerning the body image of patients. For the purposes of providing exact information for patients when choosing between PD and hemodialysis, we studied the extent of increase in waist circumference by infusing dialysate.

Choice of standards for sonographic fetal abdominal circumference percentile

American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology MFM, 2022
The diagnosis of abnormal fetal abdominal circumference is based on values >90th or 1 eligible examination during the study period, a single examination was chosen at random for inclusion. Five norms of abdominal circumference were studied: the Hadlock formula, the World Health Organization Fetal Growth Curves, the International Fetal and Newborn ...

Fetal abdominal circumference as a predictor of menstrual age

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1982
The relation between fetal abdominal circumference and menstrual cycle age was determined by cross-sectional analysis of 400 fetuses (15-41 weeks) examined with a linear-array real-time ultrasound scanner using specifically defined methodology. Mathematical modeling of the data demonstrated that the liner quadratic function was an optimal model (r2 ...

Abdominal circumference vs abdominal area--which is better?

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 1984
The efficacies of ultrasonic abdominal circumference (AC) and abdominal area (AA) measurements in the evaluation of intrauterine fetal growth were compared. The intraobserver random and technical errors were found to be significantly higher with AA measurements.

Ultrasonic Fetal Abdominal Circumference

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1986
The ultrasonically derived fetal abdominal circumference is one of the essential parameters used to predict birth weight, assess fetal growth, and follow the evolution of fetal ascites. Growth curves relating abdominal circumference to gestational age have been reported for directly measured abdominal circumferences.

Characteristics and Outcome and the Omphalocele Circumference/Abdominal Circumference Ratio in Prenatally Diagnosed Fetal Omphalocele

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2011
<i>Objective:</i> To evaluate the outcome of fetuses with prenatally diagnosed omphalocele and to investigate the predictive value of the omphalocele circumference/abdominal circumference (OC/AC) ratio – a measure for the relative size of the omphalocele.

Percentile ranks of sonar fetal abdominal circumference measurements

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980
We present the percentile ranks of sonar fetal abdominal circumference (AC) measurements from 18 to 41 weeks' gestation. The ACs are derived from both longitudinal and cross-sectional ultrasonic studies of 200 low-risk pregnant women. The reproducibility of sonar AC falls within 2% of the mean value; this variation permits antenatal distinction of the ...
