Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their

Prediction of gestational age based on genome-wide differentially methylated regions [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2016
BACKGROUND: We explored the association between gestational age and cord blood DNA methylation at birth and whether DNA methylation could be effective in predicting gestational age due to limitations with the presently used methods. We used data from the

An epigenetic clock for gestational age at birth based on blood methylation data [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2016
Background: Gestational age is often used as a proxy for developmental maturity by clinicians and researchers alike. DNA methylation has previously been shown to be associated with age and has been used to accurately estimate chronological age in ...

Assessment of gestational age in twins. [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1974
Gestational age was estimated by the method of Dubowitz et al. (1970) in 33 pairs of twins. In spite of marked differences of up to 20% in birthweight between the two members of a twin pair, the mean estimated gestational age of the heavier twins did not differ significantly from the mean estimated gestational age of the lighter twins ...

Prediction of small-for-gestational age by fetal growth rate according to gestational age.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundSmall-for-gestational age (SGA) infants should be identified before birth because of an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of fetal growth rate by gestational age on the prediction

A parsimonious explanation for intersecting perinatal mortality curves: understanding the effect of plurality and of parity [PDF]

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2003
Background Birth weight- and gestational age-specific perinatal mortality curves intersect when compared across categories of maternal smoking, plurality, race and other factors. No simple explanation exists for this paradoxical observation.

The influence between gestational age and postural control, a systematic review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
The central nervous system (CNS) of preterm infants might have some peculiarities which distinguish it from that of full term infants. The difficulties associated with prematurity are the main cause of deaths all over the world during the new-born period
