Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Antenatal management of very-low-birth-weight infants often requires difficult obstetric decisions. This study was designed to evaluate the predictive value for neonatal outcome of antenatally acquired estimation of gestational age and ultrasonographically estimated fetal weight or a combination of both in very-low-birth-weight infants. Sixty-seven fetuses with estimated gestational ages between 22 0/7 and 28 6/7 weeks were studied ultrasonographically to estimate fetal weight. A comparison of accuracy of estimated fetal weight with actual birth weight showed good correlation (r = 0.93). Neonatal outcome of these infants was analyzed by estimated gestational age and estimated fetal weight. Estimated gestational age and estimated fetal weight greater than 25 weeks and greater than 750 gm were associated with 50% survival, respectively. However, when both of these conditions were met survival reached 85%. This information may be useful to guide antepartum management decisions in this very-low-birth-weight group. |
