| Popis: | Objective To derive population specific transverse cerebellar diameter/abdominal circumference ratio (TCD/AC ratio) for the assessment of normal fetal growth. Materials and methods A one-year prospective observational study conducted at the KLE University's teaching hospital, Belgaum. The TCD/AC ratio was calculated for 434 obstetric patients, who met the inclusion criteria and the arithmetic mean and 1 standard deviation (SD) was calculated for the population studied. Results Within the study population, the TCD/AC ratio assessed for normal fetal growth with gestational age ranging from 18 to 34 weeks was found to be a constant with a mean of 13.56 +/− 1.21(1 SD). Conclusion A normal standard value to assess normal fetal growth is required for a given set of population in order to be compared with those fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The TCD/AC value in our study remained a constant between gestational ages ranging from 18 to 34 weeks with a mean of 13.56 +/− 1.21. |
