Evaluating the Need for Multiple Ultrasound Measurements for Accurate Prediction of Birthweight Using Estimated Fetal Weight

In a controlled research setting with credentialed sonographers and standardized protocols, averaging replicate fetal biometric measurements did not improve EFW prediction of birthweight. A single high-quality measurement of fetal biometry may be sufficient, although further research is warranted to confirm generalizability to routine clinical practice.

Abstract

In a controlled research setting with credentialed sonographers and standardized protocols, averaging replicate fetal biometric measurements did not improve EFW prediction of birthweight. A single high-quality measurement of fetal biometry may be sufficient, although further research is warranted to confirm generalizability to routine clinical practice.
