    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Obstetrics
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Accurate menstrual age prediction is crucial for optimal pregnancy management.
    • Existing fetal age prediction models may have limitations across diverse populations.
    • Ultrasonographic measurements are standard tools for fetal assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of regression models for fetal age prediction.
    • To compare the efficacy of single versus multiple fetal ultrasonographic measurements.
    • To assess the applicability of existing models to a different demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 300 indigent black and Hispanic patients.
    • Utilized biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length.

  • Compared regression models using single and multiple fetal parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • Multiple fetal ultrasonographic parameters significantly enhance fetal age estimation accuracy.
    • Regression equations developed in a white population were effective in a black and Hispanic population.
    • No significant difference in accuracy was observed between single and multiple parameters when using previously validated models.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple fetal ultrasonographic measurements offer a significant advantage for accurate fetal age prediction.
    • Established regression models demonstrate applicability across diverse socioeconomic and racial groups.
    • This validates the use of standardized ultrasonographic methods for gestational age assessment in varied populations.
