Symphysis‐fundal height measurement — A reliable parameter for assessment of fetal growth
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1990AbstractIntrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is one of the major causes of perinatal mortality in countries like India. Fundal height traditionally measured in relation to umbilicus and xiphisternum is of little value in predicting the fetal growth. Some workers have found that symphysis fundal height (SFH) measurements could be useful in screening ...

Summary. In a study to evaluate the repeatability of symphysis‐fundal (SF) height measurements by medical students, and the effect of practical training in obstetrics on this repeatability eight medical students and an obstetrician initially measured the SF height three times each in six pregnant women.

Antenatal identification of altered fetal growth is a significant problem in spite of the availability of sophisticated technology. The present study was undertaken to generate symphysis-fundal height curves locally for an Indian population and to assess their value in predicting altered fetal growth.

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1989
SummaryThis study assesses the inter‐observer variation of symphysis‐fundal height measurements by three methods—the coefficient of variation, the correlation coefficient and the limits of agreement. The coefficient of variation was 4% and the correlation coefficient 0·959, yet the limits of agreement were very wide.

Symphysial‐Fundal Height from 12 Weeks' Gestation
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1984Summary: 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.

PREDICTION OF SMALL‐FOR‐DATES INFANTS BY MEASUREMENT OF SYMPHYSIAL‐FUNDAL‐HEIGHT
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1981SummaryA 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.

A new symphysis-fundal height tape measure for Zaire
British Journal of Midwifery, 1995A potential reduction in mortality and morbidity rates in both mothers and babies in Zaire could be realised by the use of a new symphysis-fundal height tape measure. Specially designed for use in Zaire, it is calibrated in weeks and months rather than in centimetres to make assessment of fetal growth easier for local midwives.

The accuracy of symphysis fundal height measurement
British Journal of Midwifery, 2012Fetal 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 ...

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 1993
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 > or = 4,500 or > or =

Symphysis-fundal height predicts difficult evolution of induced labours.
Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2017Symphysis-fundal-height (SFH) could be prove useful for the management of labour. This study aims to assess the behaviour of induced labours in relationship with SFH values.Prospective observational study in a sample of 158 women underwent induction with intravaginal dinoprostone for different indications.
