Neonatal Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Birth Weight by Ultrasound

摘要: Objective To develop a more accurate ultrasound birth weight (BW) model using neonatal anthropometric measurements. Study design Two hundred thirty-one newborns were evaluated. Measurements included weight; head, chest, and abdominal circumferences (umbilicus liver), humerus, femur lengths. Infants randomly assigned into two groups (G(1) G(2)). Anthropometric measurements that are obtainable by generated from G(1). Stepwise regression bootstrap analysis used to create the prediction models. The models validated G(2). Results final stepwise FL of abdomen. correlations were: G(1): R(2)=0.91, p Conclusion Neonatal strongly predictive actual BW. This will be tested prospectively predict fetal weight.
