introduction: accurate estimation of gestational age (ga) early in pregnancy is necessary for obstetric care decisions and for determining fetal growth and other conditions that may need intervention or delivery. this study was aimed to compare m enstrual versus ultrasound scan-based gestational age estimates of ga in kermanshsh during 2004-2005. materials and methods: a diagnostic study was do...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

Objective : To evaluate the application and accuracy of foetal kidney length measurement in determining the gestational age of the foetus. Design : Prospective study Methodology : Out of 70 women, 50 women who were certain of their last menstrual periods (LMP) and who had regular menstrual cycle completed the study. Serial study of foetal biometry at 2 weekly intervals between 22 weeks and 38 w...

BACKGROUND Common fetal parameters for gestational age (GA) estimation have pitfalls especially in advanced pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by fetal structural anomaly. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between umbilical cord size and gestational age of the fetus. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A sonographic cross sectional study involving 300 pregnant women with GA between 14 weeks to 40 week...

BACKGROUND The accuracy of common ultrasound parameters for the estimation of gestational age (GA) decreases as pregnancy advances in age. Hence, there is need to explore other parameters that may complement the established fetal biometric parameters in predicting GA in late pregnancy. AIM The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the sonographic placental thickness (PT) ...
