Evaluation of Fetal Abdominal Circumference Versus Estimated Fetal Weight in the Recognition of Late Onset Fetal Growth Pattern Restriction

Journal Title: Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Objective: To display a an assessment and comparative analysis between expected fetal weight (EFW) and abdominal circumference (AC) in the capacity to reveal and expect of late onset fetal growth restrictive pattern Patients and Methods: A group of recruited random singleton gestations sonographically examined and evaluated at 32 and 37weeks. Fetal growth evaluation by measuring the abdominal circumference and expected fetal weight, and both measurements obtained. Put in comparison for their predictive capabilities for Late onset fetal growth restriction. A Restrictive growth pattern was described as growth parameter of less than 10th centile. Results: A total of 938 gestations were recruited in the research study falling growth curve pattern between 32and 37weeks was correlated with late onset Fetal growth Restriction, but the analytical capability of both Abdominal Circumference and expected fetal weight was of weak capacity in comparison, with recognition rate of around 28% at a 10% rate of false positives for late onset Fetal Growth Restriction. Conclusions: analysis and evaluation of fetal growth pattern all through the third trimester of gestation have a weak capacity for prediction of late onset fetal growth restriction, with no statistically significant differences observed when comparing abdominal circumference and expected fetal weight.
