Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The exponential form of growth was used to describe prenatal growth in mouse, rat, guinea pig, swine, sheep, cattle and man. Instantaneous growth rate was permitted to vary as a function of time and, in litter bearing species, number of fetuses. Models for which instantaneous growth rate decreased linearly in time had a tendency to overestimate fetal weight from mid-gestation until midway through the last trimester of pregnancy and subsequently, underestimate fetal weight. When instantaneous growth rate varied as a quadratic function of time, a more accurate and precise prediction of fetal weights resulted. |
