Objective It was aimed to evaluate the effects of alternative measurement methods in estimating actual birth weight (actual BW) in third-trimester isolated oligohydramnios. Methods In our study in prospective design, 78 pregnant women between 336/7and 366/7 weeks of gestation were evaluated. Routine biometric measurements were obtained through two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography. Calipers were placed in the sections where the measurements were made for manual measurement. Then, automatic measurement was obtained by sonography device on the same image. Fetal weight was estimated using the Hadlock II formula. Results The mean manual and automated estimated fetal weights (EFWs) and actual birth weights (actual BWs) were 2281.1±326, 2371.5±324 and 2417.2±353, respectively. Manual EFW was lower than both actual BW and automated EFW at a statistically significant level (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, respectively). In correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation was found between actual BW and, both manual EFW and automated EFW (p |
