Zusammenfassung
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and to test a specific formula for estimating weight in the macrosomic fetus. Methods: This retrospective cross sectional study included 427 singleton fetuses with a birth weight of ≥ 4000g at the Perinatal Centre at Erlangen University Hospital. Ultrasound estimations of fetal weight were carried out within 1 week of delivery. Exclusion criteria were multiple pregnancy, intrauterine death, and major structural or chromosomal anomalies. Stepwise regression analysis with maternal and fetal biometric parameters was used to identify the best-fit formula for predictin…
