Researchers at Hasanuddin University conducted a study in Makassar, Indonesia, to evaluate the accuracy of estimated delivery dates (EDDs) based on the last menstrual period (LMP) and their association with adverse events during childbirth. The study found that early pregnancy ultrasound provides a more accurate EDD than LMP, and discrepancies between actual delivery dates and estimated dates were linked to increased risks during delivery. The researchers concluded that transitioning to more accurate methods for EDD calculation, such as routine early ultrasound, is crucial to improving maternal and neonatal care outcomes, especially in resource-limited settings.
