Is the use of symphysis-fundal height measurement and ultrasound examination effective in detecting small or large fetuses?

open access: yesJournal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2011
We investigated the accuracy of using symphysis pubis-fundal height measurement and ultrasonically derived estimation of fetal weight for identifying small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) fetuses.

PREDICTION OF SMALL‐FOR‐DATES INFANTS BY MEASUREMENT OF SYMPHYSIAL‐FUNDAL‐HEIGHT

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1981
SummaryA standard chart of symphysial‐fundal height from 20 to 40 weeks of pregnancy was derived from measurements in 103 women who were delivered of infants weighing between the 25th and 90th centile for gestation. The chart was used to predict birth weight in a group of 138 high‐risk patients.

Symphysial‐Fundal Height from 12 Weeks' Gestation

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1984
Summary: There is a strong association between birth‐weight and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is an important cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality and 50% of cases occur in low risk patients. Despite an obvious need, the diagnosis of IUGR by clinical means has remained difficult and inaccurate.

The accuracy of symphysis fundal height measurement

British Journal of Midwifery, 2012
Fetal growth anomalies are correlated with an increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality, including unexplained stillbirth. Identification of the small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) fetus, especially during an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy requires effective antenatal screening methods, and involves input ...

Prediction of High Birthweight from Maternal Characteristics, Symphysis Fundal Height and Ultrasound Biometry

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2010
The possibility to predict a large infant during pregnancy was assessed using data from a prospective cohort study of 537 singleton pregnancies with term deliveries. Maternal characteristics, symphysis fundal height and ultrasound measurements were used in multivariate analyses for the prediction of an infant with a birthweight of ≥ 4,500 or ≥ 4,000 g.

A comparison of symphysis‐fundal height and ultrasound as screening tests for light‐for‐gestational age infants

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1987
Summary. The clinical efficiency of serial measurement of symphysisfundal height (SFH) for the prediction of light‐for‐gestational age (LGA) infants was compared with that of a single measurement of fetal abdominal circumference (AC) by ultrasound in the third trimester.

The development and use of a standard symphysial‐fundal height growth curve in the prediction of small for gestational age neonates

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1988
AbstractThe symphysial‐fundal height (SF) measurement has been routinely used in obstetrics, although its value in the prediction of small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) infants remains controversial. A retrospective study was performed in order to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the SF distance and establish guidelines for its use. Local neonatal

INTERGROWTH-21st Symphysis-Fundal Height Chart: Safe for Use in The NHS?

<p>NHS England recently issued a directive&nbsp;against use of the INTERGROWTH 21<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;estimated fetal weight standard because of its low antenatal screen positive rate for small for gestational age. We investigated whether INTERGROWTH’s standard for symphysis-fundal height, based on the same 8-country cohort as ...
