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 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
