The combination of symphysis-fundal height and abdominal circumference as a novel predictor of macrosomia in GDM and normal pregnancy. [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth, 2020 Abstract Background Macrosomia is a major adverse pregnancy outcome of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Although BMI, symphysis-fundal height (SFH) and abdominal circumference (AC) are associated with fetal weight, there are some limitations to their use, especially for the prediction of macrosomia.

A survey of methods used to measure symphysis fundal height
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2008 Symphysis fundal height (SFH) is currently used in the UK as a screening test to identify which pregnancies may require additional investigations including the use of ultrasound fetal biometry. The routine use of SFH has been subjected to extensive research assessing its sensitivity and also inter and intraobserver variation.

Symphysis-fundal height to identify large-for-gestational-age and macrosomia: a meta-analysis
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2019 Bivariate diagnostic meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of symphysis-fundal height (SFH) for identifying large-for-gestational- age (LGA) (i.e. birth weight >90th centile according to gestational age) and macrosomia (i.e. birth weight >4000 g). Ten databases, e.g.
