ESTIMATING FETAL BIRTH WEIGHT AND RISK OF MACROSOMIA

摘要

Methods and systems for estimating fetal weight at birth and risk of macrosomia are disclosed. Information regarding maternal characteristics (ST1) and ultrasound measurements (ST2) are obtained for the fetus. A computer program selects the most accurate equation from a hierarchy of birth weight/risk of macrosomia estimation equations (ST3) based on the available information. Program outputs (ST4) include estimated birth weight, risk of macrosomia, and confidence intervals.
