Percentage of maternal abdominal length for detecting accelerated uterine growth from a twin gestation
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, State University of New York, Brooklyn 11212.
Serial measurement of the uterine fundal height (FH) is the clinical parameter used most commonly in the assessment of fetal growth. A comparison of the FH value with its ratio to the symphysioxyphoid distance, or percentage of maternal abdominal length (PMAL), using two reference graphs, showed that the PMAL is a more sensitive parameter than FH alone in detecting accelerated uterine growth secondary to a twin gestation.
