Objective:This study was to estimate the fetal weight in term pregnancy by clinical methods and ultrasound and to compare the results with actual birth weight (ABW). Material and Methods:This study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College and Hospital, Gaya, Bihar from December 2019 to May 2020. It was a prospective study covering 200 pregnant women at term gestation. Results: Estimated birth weight by abdominal girth × symphysis fundal height (AG × SFH) formula was closest to the ABW (P = 0.060), as compared to the estimated birth weight by Johnson's formula (P = 0.000) and Hadlock's formula (P = 0.000). Therefore, of the three formulae studied, AG × SFH formula had better predictive value as compared to Johnson's and Hadlock's formulae. The accuracy of AG × SFH (Insler's formula) for estimating the fetal weight at term was found to be comparable to Hadlock's formula (P= 0.104). Conclusion: Clinical estimation of birth weight denitely has a role in the management of labor and delivery. AG × SFH is a simple, easy, costeffective, and universally applicable method to predict fetal birth weight which can be used even by paramedics like midwives and also in centers where ultrasound is not available.

Abstract Purpose: To assess the value of pre-labor maternal and fetal sonographic variables to predict an unplanned operative delivery.Methods: In this prospective study, nulliparous women were recruited at 37.0-42.0 weeks of gestation. Sonographic measurements included estimated fetal weight, maternal pubic arch angle, and the angle of progression. We performed a descriptive and comparative analysis between two outcome groups: spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) and unplanned operative delivery (UOD) (vacuum-assisted, forceps-assisted and cesarean deliveries). Multivariate logistic regression with ROC analysis was used to create discriminatory models for UOD. Results: Among 234 patients in the study group, 175 had a spontaneous vaginal delivery and 59 an unplanned operative delivery. Maternal height and pubic arch angle (PAA) significantly correlated with UOD. Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates revealed a multivariate model for the prediction of UOD, including the parameters of maternal age, maternal height, sonographic PAA, angle of progression (AOP), and estimated fetal weight, with an area under the curve of 0.7118. Conclusion: Sonographic parameters representing maternal pelvic configuration (PAA) and maternal-fetal interface (AOP) improve the prediction ability of pre-labor models for a UOD. These data may aid the obstetrician in the counseling process before delivery.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to compare the predictability of the Vintzileos’ formula with the Hadlock's formula in estimating the fetal weight nearest to the actual birth weight. Methods It was a prospective observational study conducted with 138 antenatal mothers with single viable fetus and no major congenital abnormalities. A two-dimensional ultrasound scan was performed between 38 and 40 weeks gestation, which measured the biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL) and thigh circumference (TC) at the level of midthigh, and incorporated them to estimate fetal weight using the Hadlock's and the Vintzileos’ formulae. Results For the majority of the study population (63.04%), the mean fetal weight estimated by the Vintzileos’ formula was nearer to the mean actual birth weight compared to the Hadlock's formula. There was strong correlation (Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient r = 0.98, p-value <0.05) between the sonologically estimated and the neonatal thigh circumference. Conclusion The results of this study show that the fetal thigh circumference, if incorporated with other standard biometric parameters in estimating fetal weight by ultrasound, improves the predictability of birth weight estimation, and can predict intrauterine growth restriction.
