| Popis: | We developed a computer-generated algorithm for standardizing the assignment of a best gestational age. Our database collected information on maternal last menstrual period (LMP), prenatal ultrasonography, obstetrical estimated date of confinement (EDC), use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), and newborn assessment based on the Ballard examination. The algorithm for determining best gestational age was developed based on the literature on the accuracy of prenatal and neonatal dating. We examined the performance of the algorithm using patients admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with a best gestational age |
