Use of the fetal chest in estimating fetal weight

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1992
This study was designed to develop formulas using the chest circumference instead of the abdominal circumference for estimating fetal weight.Ultrasonographic measurements of the chest circumference, biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, humeral length, and femoral length were obtained in 75 term fetuses of uncomplicated pregnancies within 24 ...

Second Trimester Estimated Fetal Weight and Fetal Weight Gain Predict Childhood Obesity [PDF]

Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
To determine the extent to which fetal weight during mid-pregnancy and fetal weight gain from mid-pregnancy to birth predict adiposity and blood pressure (BP) at age 3 years.Among 438 children in the Project Viva cohort, we estimated fetal weight at 16-20 (median 18) weeks' gestation using ultrasound biometry measures.

Role of Fetal Length in the Prediction of Fetal Weight

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2012
The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of routine fetal biometric indices in the prediction of fetal length and to determine whether more accurate sonographic measures of fetal length can improve the accuracy of fetal weight estimation.The accuracy of the common sonographic fetal biometric indices for predicting fetal length was ...

Estimation of fetal weight by fetography

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1977
The present studies were designed to estimate fetal weight on the basis of the thesis that the factors which determine body weight include the fetal bone and the amount of fetal soft tissue, i.e., fetal corpulence. Scalp thickness on the fetogram in the vertex presentation was measured, and the ratio of the minimal femur diameter to the thickness of ...

Fetal Medicine Foundation fetal and neonatal population weight charts [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2018
ABSTRACTObjectiveTo develop fetal and neonatal population weight charts. The rationale was that, while reference ranges of estimated fetal weight (EFW) are representative of the whole population, the traditional approach of deriving birth‐weight (BW) charts is misleading, because a large proportion of babies born preterm arise from pathological ...

Prediction of fetal weights in twins

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1995
Objective. To determine the accuracy of sonographic weight estimation of twin fetuses. Methods In 73 twin‐pregnancies, fetal weight estimation by ultrasound was performed within 7 days prior to delivery. Fetal head biparietal diameter and abdominal circumference were measured.

Clinical estimation of fetal weight

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1972
Abstract Clinical estimation after abdominal palpation is the commonest method of assessing fetal weight in utero. Errors in this may prove critical for fetal survival where premature induction of labor or vaginal delivery in breech presentation is decided upon. One thousand and one estimations were performed on 506 patients admitted to the Obstetric

Fetal Proinsulin and Birth Weight

Diabetic Medicine, 1994
In both diabetic and non‐diabetic pregnancies fetal insulin is an important anabolic hormone. Fetal hyperinsulinaemia is associated with accelerated fetal growth and increased birth weight. Insulin and C‐peptide concentrations in both umbilical cord and amniotic fluid reflect fetal β‐cell secretion and are correlated with birth weight.

A global reference for fetal-weight and birthweight percentiles

Lancet, The, 2011
Definition of small for gestational age in various populations worldwide remains a challenge. References based on birthweight are deficient for preterm births, those derived from ultrasound estimates might not be applicable to all populations, and the individualised reference can be too complex to use in developing countries.

Validity of ultrasound estimation of fetal weight

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
To assess the validity of ultrasound estimation of fetal weight at term.We conducted a prospective observational study whereby all ultrasonic biometric measurements were done by a single observer. Fifty pregnant women at term had ultrasonic measurement of various fetal biometric parameters performed within a week of delivery. Fetal weight was estimated
