| Popis: | Purpose Sonographic fetal weight (FW) estimation to detect macrosomic fetuses is an essential part of everyday routine work in obstetrics departments. Most of the commonly used weight estimation formulas underestimate FW when the actual birth weight (BW) exceeds 4000 g. One of the best-established weight estimation formulas is the Hadlock formula. In an effort to improve the detection rates of macrosomic infants, Hart et al. published a specially designed formula including maternal weight at booking. The usefulness of the Hart formula was tested. Methods Retrospective study of 3304 singleton pregnancies, birth weight ≥ 3500 g. The accuracy of the Hadlock and Hart formula were tested. A subgroup analysis examined the influence of the maternal weight. The Chi-squared test and one-way analysis of variation were carried out. For all analyses, p |
