Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatology
  • Medical Statistics

Context:

  • Accurate estimation of neonatal weight is vital for effective prenatal care and delivery method selection.
  • Traditional methods may have limitations in precision and accessibility.
  • The study addresses the need for a reliable clinical tool for fetal weight estimation.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a simple, accurate method for estimating neonatal weight before birth.
  • To establish a predictive equation using readily measurable maternal parameters.
  • To create a clinical chart for practical application in obstetric settings.

Summary:

  • A multiple linear regression equation was derived from uterine height (X1) and abdominal circumference (X2) measurements in 403 normal pregnancies: Neonatal Weight (Y) = 101.24(X1) + 16.58(X2) - 1907.64.
