| Popis: | Background: Postnatal gestational age (GA) estimation is crucial in neonates with absent early trimester ultrasonography (USG) reports to evaluate the risk of morbidity and mortality. Widely used Expanded New Ballard (ENBS) is complex and needs expert medical professional to assess. Eregie (ES) and Parkin (PS) scores are easy to perform with good inter-observer reliability. We aimed to compare these scores for their ability in predicting GA with early trimester USG-GA as gold standard. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1114 intramural neonates who qualified the selection criteria. All neonates were evaluated using three scores by residents (blinded to USG-GA) with an acceptable inter-observer difference of |
